Answer: Choice A) The value of s(x) depends on the value of x, since s is a function of x.

The outer letter s tells us what the function's name is. It's the dependent variable and it might be handy to tie it to the y variable. The x is the independent variable. It changes freely without relying on what s happens to be.
