What are the dependent and independent variables for the function y equals 6x plus 8?
The truth is that you can't actually answer, given the information you have. But that's not the answer you are looking for! So, the equation you have is y = 6x+8. There are two variables here, x and y. If you know what x is, you can calculate y as follows: you multiply x by 6 then add 8. So if x is 2, then 6 lots of x is 12, and adding 8 we get 20. So y is 20. The general expression y = mx + c describes a linear relationship between two variables - m is referred to as the gradient and c is called the intercept. This is because if each of the pairs of x and y (e.g. x=2 and y=20 above), the line which join them intercepts (crosses) the y axis at 'c' and has a gradient (steepness) of 'm' (i.e. as you move one unit along the x axis, you go 'm' units up the y axis). So which is dependent and which is independent? Earlier, we calculated y from x. This is the easiest thing to do with this equation. We can say that 'y is dependent on x' or 'x is the independent variable'. Mathematically speaking, though, we could just rearrange the equation (you can see that x = (y-8)/6 by taking 8 away from both sides and dividing both sides by 6). Then it looks like we've switched which one is dependent and independent. But we haven't really - and that is because you are not really asking a maths question, to do with equations, but a science question, to do with causes and effects. In science, we often choose what x's we will use and measure the y's. *This* makes y dependent, but only if we choose it properly - it should actually change as a result of changing the x. So y could be 'reading age' and x could be 'actual age in years'. Most people's reading age increases as they get older (at least up to a certain age). But it is how old they are that is causing their reading age to increase. So we would say that 'actual age in years' is the independent variable and 'reading age' is the dependent variable (because it depends on their actual age). And so if we were doing an investigation into this relationship, it would be conventional to call the 'actual age in years' x and the 'reading age' y. It is normal to call the independent variable 'x' and the dependent variable 'y'. I think that's what you really want to know, but it is important to know why.
How do you solve 5x plus 6y equals -60?
You cannot solve 1 linear equation in 2 unknown variables. You need at least two independent equations.
Qhat does doable mean?
The word "doable" means that something can be done. For example, in the sentence "I don't know if it will be easy, but it is doable", we can gather that it is generally used to convey that a task is at the very least possible.
What is a least common decimal?
I do not know of 'least common decimal', but i do know of 'least common denominator'
Which digit in 4.628 has the least value?
The number 8 in that question is the number with the least amount of value (0.008).
Which is the definition of a complex sentence?
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, while the dependent clause relies on the independent clause to make sense.
What is a complex compound sentence?
It is a sentence with more than one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.In grammar, a compound complex sentence is made up of two independent clauses as well as at least one dependent clause. An independent clause can stand alone, while a dependent clause cannot, since it is not a complete sentence.
What is a characteristic of a complex sentence?
it has at least one dependent and one independent clause
Which type of sentence has at least one independent and on dependent clause?
Complex (APEX)
What is one characteristic of a complex sentence?
it has at least one dependent and one independent clause
What is a complex?
In mathematics, a complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where "a" and "b" are real numbers and "i" is the imaginary unit, satisfying the equation i^2 = -1. Complex numbers include a real part and an imaginary part.
Are sentences with at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause?
I think it is a compund complex sentence. If it'ts not that its complex.
What is the difference between simple and compound sentence?
A simple sentence only has one independent clause and no dependent clauses. A compound sentence has at least two independent clauses and can also have a dependent clause. The two independent clauses of a compound sentence are joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or).Simple sentence example: I am walking.Compound sentence example: I am walking, but my friend is running.
What is a independent clause and dependent clause?
An independent clause is a simple sentence that is correct by itself. Examples: I ride the bus. He wrote a story. A dependent clause is not correct by itself and is usually attached to an independent clause. Example: Although I was sick, I went swimming. (The part before the comma is the dependent clause and the part after is the independent clause because it can be a sentence on it's own.)
What is the definition of independent clause?
An independent clause is a group of words that can stand on their own as a sentence. Something like "Johnny ate the apples." An independent clause has to have the same requirements as a sentence (Subject and verb), and has to be able to stand alone.The reason it isn't the same thing as a sentence is that we discuss independent and dependent clauses as parts of simple, compound, and complex sentences. Therefore, the sentence could be "Johnny ate the apples, which prevented mom from making her famous apple pie." "Johnny ate the apples" is still an independent clause, but it is part of a larger sentence (in this case it is joined to a dependent clause and the sentence is a complex sentence).If the sentence were joined to another independent clause, the sentence would be compound (and yes, you can have compound-complex sentences, which require at least two independent clauses and one dependent clause).AnswerPart of a sentence that makes sense by itself. Here is an example. the italics is the independent clause.The dog ran very far across the beach.
What is meant by a sentence?
A simple sentence has one clause. and no subordinate clauses e.g. I like coffee.A complex sentence has an independent (main) clause, and at least one dependent (subordinate) clause e.g. I like coffee, but I prefer it black with no sugar.
What is an independent clause sentence?
A sentence has a subject and a verb. It is a complete thought and can stand on it's own. A clause is not a complete thought. It is missing a subject or verb. It cannot stand on it's own.
