Question

G(x) = x2 + 1. Find a value for the dependent variable if the independent variable has a value of 1. Type a numerical answer in the space provided. Do not type spaces in your answer.

Answer 1

The value of the dependent variable is 2.

Explanation:

Given equation is:
`G(x)= x^2 +1`

Here, the independent variable is
`x` and the dependent variable is
`G(x)`.

Given that, the independent variable has a value of 1. That means,
`x=1`

Plugging this
`x=1` into the above equation, we will get......

`G(1)= (1)^2 +1 \\ \\ \Rightarrow G(1)= 1+1 =2`

So, the value of the dependent variable is 2.
