Take an example: The salary per hour:

Assume x (variable) is the number of hours worked and assume THAT THE RATE PER HOUR IS $10, then:
If you work x hours at the hourly rate of$10, you will generate an income,
say, y that is equal the number of hours worked by the rate per hour, that is:

y = 10.x. The more hour(x) you work, the more income(y) you get.
Hence we created a relationship between y and x , or in English, between the earning and the number of hours worked.
Moreover y depends on x, if there is no x, there is no y and if x increases, y increases. However x is an INDEPENDENT variable because you can
give to x any number & y will follow

Write 12/root2 + root18 in the form broot2 where b is an interger

katrin2010 [14]

$\dfrac{12}{\sqrt 2} + \sqrt{18}\\\\\\=\dfrac{12 + \sqrt{18 \times 2}}{\sqrt 2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{12+\sqrt{9 \times 4}}{\sqrt 2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{12+3 \times 2}{\sqrt 2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{18}{\sqrt 2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{18\sqrt 2}{\left(\sqrt 2\right)^2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{18\sqrt 2}2\\\\\\=9\sqrt 2$
