Question

What is true of the function g(x) = -2x² + 5?

O g(x) is the multiplication of g and x.
O-212 +5 is the input of the function.
The variable x represents the independent variable.
The variable g represents the input of the function.

Answer 1

C.) The variable x represents the independent variable

Explanation:

The variable "x" is the independent variable because that is the value that we can manipulate. We cannot manipulate the dependent variable because it is determined by the independent variable. In that case, "y" would be the dependent variable because its value is dependent on what "x" is.

A.) is incorrect because g(x) symbolizes the input of the variable "x" into the g function.

B.) is incorrect because "x" is the input.

D.) is incorrect because "x" is the input.
