Question

a= Consider the equation 67b cV17 relating the variables a, b, and e. If a scientist does an experiment in which b is held constant, c is varied, and a is measured. 1. Identify the independent and dependent variables. 2. What functional relationship is being tested? 3. What should be plotted in order to confirm this relationship? (Order matters) 4. What specifically about the graph would confirm the relationship? 5. What is the theoretical slope of the line on the graph?

Answer 1

In this context, 'c' is the independent variable and 'a' is the dependent variable. A graph plotting 'a' against 'c' should show a straight line confirming a direct relationship. The theoretical slope of this line should be determined by 'b'.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation 67b cV17, if 'b' is held constant, 'c' is varied and 'a' is measured, then 'c' is the independent variable, 'a' is the dependent variable and 'b' is a constant.

The equation tests the functional relationship of 'a' in relation to variable 'c' while 'b' is constant.

To confirm this relationship, a graph can be plotted with 'a' being the y-axis and 'c' being the x-axis. If the relationship is valid, the plot should produce a straight line which confirms a consistent, direct relationship between 'a' and 'c' according to the formula. The theoretical slope of the line on the graph will be essentially determined by the coefficient, being the 'b' value in the functional relationship;
