Math Problem Statement

What are the two other names for the dependent variable?

Solution

The question asks for two other names for the "dependent variable."

  • A dependent variable is a variable whose value depends on the value of an independent variable, commonly used in mathematics, statistics, and science.

Among the options provided:

  1. Dependent quantity – This is correct, as the dependent variable often represents a quantity that changes based on the independent variable.
  2. Dependent value – This is also correct because it refers to the value of the dependent variable, which is affected by the independent variable.

The other options, "dependent expression" and "dependent equation," are not typically used to describe the dependent variable.

Thus, the correct answers are:

  • Dependent quantity
  • Dependent value

Would you like further clarification on dependent and independent variables?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What is the role of an independent variable in an equation?
  2. How does the dependent variable relate to a function's output?
  3. Can a dependent variable exist without an independent variable?
  4. What fields of study use dependent and independent variables?
  5. How can you determine if a variable is dependent in an experiment?

Tip: In many real-world experiments, identifying the dependent variable is key to understanding what you're trying to measure or predict.
