Answer:
Input
Independent variable
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
<u>Independent variables</u>, are the values that can be changed or controlled in a given model or equation
<u>Dependent variables</u>, are the values that result from the independent variables
we have the function
In this problem
This is a proportional relationship between the variables d and t
The function d(t) represent the dependent variable or the output
The variable t represent the independent variable or input
In the given diagram, the traingles USW and UTV are similar triangles and thus the following ratio equality applies to them.
..........(Equation 1)
Checking the diagram given, we see that:
VT=y, WS=22, VU=8, ST=x-2
WU=WV+VU=12+8=20
TU=5
SU=ST+TU=(x-2)+5=x+3
Thus, substituting the required values in (Equation 1) we get:
Now, as can be clearly seen, to find y we will use the first two ratios as:
In a similar manner, to find the value of x we can use the last two ratios:
After cross multiplication we get:
Which can be simplified as:
Thus,
Therefore, the required answer is:
x=9.5 and y=8.8
