HORIZONTAL ADDITION: In graphical analysis, the technique of combining two curves by adding the value of the variable on the horizontal or X axis for a given value of the variable on the vertical or Y axis. This is commonly done when deriving a market demand curve from a set of individual demand curves. The quantity demanded by every individual is added at a given price to identify the total market demand at that price.

Relatively Inelastic

- Another large section of the elasticity continuum is comprise of relatively inelastic:
- Relatively inelastic is an elasticity alternative in which relatively large changes in one variable (price) cause relatively small changes in another variable (quantity).
- Once again, this works for both the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply, because the negative value of the price elasticity of demand is ignored.
- Relatively inelastic demand and supply are represented by relatively steep, but not perfectly vertical, demand and supply curves.

VERIFICATION The hypothesis-testing step of the scientific method in which the hypothesized implication of a theory is compared against real world events and data. This verification can provide support or refutation of the hypothesis. Enough support enables a hypothesis to become a principle. Refutation calls into question the theory implying the hypothesis. In either event, further analysis is indicated.
