It is the variable that you have control over and that doesn't have to depend on another variable.

The independent variable is the variable that you change and control in your experiment. The dependent variable is the one you don't have control over and is affected by how the independent variable reacts.

For Example:
Let's say you're doing an experiment seeing how different sugars affect the density of cupcakes. The type of sugar you add would be the independent variable, because you are choosing it. The density would be the dependent variable, since it depends on the sugar used.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The hours are the independent variable.
The wages/wk earned are ( $11/hr )x( hrs worked ) . This is the dependent variable ( depends on hours worked ) .
The domain is 0 to 30
The range is 0 to 330

Explanation:

The hours are the independent variable and should be plotted on the x-axis .

The wages/wk earned are ( $11/hr )x( hrs worked ) . This is the dependent variable ( depends on hours worked ) and should be plotted on the y-axis

---------------

Let +W+ = wages/wk earned

Let +h+ = hours/wk worked

The equation is:

+W+=+11h+

The domain is 0 to 30

( no hrs worked to 30 hrs worked )

The range is 0 to 330

( no wages eared to +11%2A30+=+330+ earned )
