Question

TO BILL CUSTOMERS FOR WATER USAGE ONE CITY CONVERTS THE NUMBER OF GALLONS USED INTO UNITS THIS RELATIONSHIP IS REPRESENTED BY THE EQUATION G=748 U WHERE G IS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF GALLONS OF WATER USED AND U IS THE NUMBER OF UNITS. DETERMINE WHICH STATEMENT IS TRUE ABOUT RELATIONSHIP SELECT TWO
G IS A DEPENDENT VARIABLE
U IS A DEPENDENT VARIABLE
G IS THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
U IS THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
THE TWO VARIABLES CANNOT BE LABELED AS INDEPENDENT OR DEPENDENT WITHOUT A TABLE OF VALUES.
THE TWO VARIABLES CANNOT BE LABELED AS INDEPENDENT OR DEPENDENT SINCE ANY VALUE CAN BE SELECTED FOR EITHER

Answer 1

Answer:

1. G IS A DEPENDENT VARIABLE

2.U IS THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

Step-by-step explanation:

G is a dependent variable because its values will rely on the values of U multiplied by 748. A dependent variable in most cases is isolated on one side of an equation ( mostly the left-hand side) and it value is affected by the values selected on the other side of the equation.

U is an independent variable because it stands on its own such that it does not rely on the behavior of another variable to determine its value/characteristic.Characteristic here i mean , U is freely selected without considering the behavior of other variable, thus it does not face any restrictions as compared to G.
