Question

Given the function, d(t) = 50t, the variable t represents which of the following? Select all that apply. input output function independent variable dependent variable

Answer 1

Independent variable

Explanation:

Given is a function

`d(t) = 50t`

We have to find the independent and dependent variable in this equation

In scientific analysis, the independent variable is one which is changed to get some results for tests. Dependent variable is one which changes according to changes in independent variable

Here we find the term t is independent as it can be changed independently and d(t) can be analysed for various values of t

Thus the dependent variable
`d(t)` a function of t is tested for various values of independent variable t.

Answer 2

Input

Independent variable

Explanation:

we know that

Independent variables, are the values that can be changed or controlled in a given model or equation

Dependent variables, are the values that result from the independent variables

we have the function

`d(t)=50t`

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
