A theory contains reasoning and logical connections that lead to certain conclusions. Theories can change based on new evidence.

For instance, the plat tectonic theory which explains landmass motion to form continents; the newton’s theory of gravity; the cell theory of organisms etc.

The nature has made most of its creation symmetrical i.e., the sun planets animals and plants. symmetry is present in geometrical figures, crystalline solids and molecule.

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS
A graph is a visual method of illustrating the behaviour of a particular function. It is easy to see from a graph how as x changes, the value of f(x) is changing. The graph is thus much easier to understand and interpret than a table of values. For example by looking at a graph we can tell whether f(x) is increasing or decreasing as x increases or decreases. We can also tell whether the rate of change is slow or fast. Maximum and minimum values of the function can be seen at a glance. For particular values of x, it is easy to read the values of f(x) and vice versa i.e. graphs can be used for estimation purposes
