What is the independent variable?

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are two types of variables we need to focus on, the first is the dependent variable, the second is the independent variable ( which is the one in question).  You asked about it in relation to mathematics, although even across the board, in science they both really mean the same thing. Here's an example, say you are taking a test, and the rubric for grading the test is 5 points (p) for every question (q) answered correctly. So given that information you can conclude that (p) is equal to 5 x the amount of questions you got right (p = 5q). The amount of points in this equation relies on how many questions you get right, you can't logically say that question (q) is equal to 5 points (p), because the questions don't depend on the points, the points depend on the amount of questions you get right. So that means since the points (p) depend on the # of questions you answered correctly, it is the dependent variable, there for by process of elimination you're independent variable is (q) since they don't rely on the points, the points rely on the questions. It all boils down to how well you can recognize this, and how complicated your question is, but hopefully this provided some insight.

The independent variable is the variable that you change every time in order to affect what you’re measuring.

Evalute 27⋅((3^3)^−1)
shtirl [24]

Answer: 0.81

Step-by-step explanation:

=27⋅((3^3)^−1)

Do the brackets first:

3^3 is the same as 3³ so it is <u>27</u>

then:

27^-1 equals <u> 0.03</u>

And lastly:

multiply 27 and 0.03

27(0.03)=<em><u>0.81</u></em>

(High points) please solve with explanation
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The area and the perimeter of the picture are:

  • <u>Area = 160 cm^2</u>
  • <u>Perimeter = 67.31 cm</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of that figure, you can find the area how if it was a rectangle and next subtract the area of the triangle in the upper part. The area of a rectangle could be found by the next formula:

  • Area of a rectangle = base * height

As you can see in the picture, the base is 16 cm and the height is 12 cm, then we replace in the formula:

  • Area of a rectangle = 16 cm * 12 cm
  • Area of a rectangle = 192 cm^2

Now, we calculate the area of the triangle to subtract to the area we found and obtain the real area, the formula to obtain the area of a triangle is:

  • Area of a triangle = (base * height) / 2

The height of the triangle is 8 cm, and the base is 8 cm too, because you subtract to the base of the rectangle (16 cm) the measurements in the upper part (16 - 4 - 4 = 8), Now, we replace in the formula:

  • Area of a triangle = (8 cm * 8 cm) / 2
  • Area of a triangle = (64 cm^2) / 2
  • Area of a triangle = 32 cm^2

We subtract to the found area:

  • Area of the picture = 192 cm^2 - 32 cm^2
  • <u>Area of the picture = 160 cm^2</u>

To find the perimeter, you must add all the sides of the picture, but, as you can see, there is a side that doesn't have the measurent, this is the hypotenuse of the triangle used before, but how we know the other sides, we can use Pythagorean theorem:

  • a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

Where:

  • a = Opposite leg (8 cm)
  • b = Adjacent leg (8 cm)

So, we replace in the theorem:

  • a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}
  • (8 cm)^{2}+(8cm)^{2}=c^{2} (and we clear c)
  • \sqrt{(8 cm)^{2}+(8cm)^{2}} =c
  • \sqrt{64 cm^{2}+64cm^{2}} =c
  • \sqrt{128cm^{2}} =c
  • c = 11.3137085 cm
  • c ≅ 11.31 cm

At last, we add all the sides of the picture begining by the base and going by the left side:

  • Perimeter of the picture = 16 cm + 12 cm + 4 cm + 11.31 cm + 8 cm + 4 cm + 12 cm
  • <u>Perimeter of the picture = 67.31 cm approximately</u>.
