20. Damilola wrote the equation h = 2d + 1 to represent the height of hisplant, h, after a certain number of days. In this relationship, he identified has the dependent variable, and d as the independent variable. Do youagree? Why or why not?*

As we can see we have the next equation


h=2d+1

where h is the dependent variable and d is the independent variable

So we agree, because d does not depend on the height, but the height depends on the days

In order words

An independent variable is a variable that represents a quantity that is modified in an experiment. In this case d

A dependent variable represents a quantity whose value depends on how the independent variable is modified. In this case h
