Function
What is the proper term for a relationship between two variables in which one quantity depends on the other It depends on the direction of the relationship. Consider y = x2 where x is a real number. The relationship from x to y is a function but the one in the opposite direction (x = sqrt(y) is not a function because it is a one-to-many mapping.
it depends on who you are
In that case, one quantity (the quantity that depends on the other) is said to be a function of the other quantity.
Function!:) * * * * * It depends on the direction of the relationship. Consider y = x2 where x is a real number. The relationship from x to y is a function but the one in the opposite direction (x = sqrt(y) is not a function because it is a one-to-many mapping.
Depends on the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.
It depends on the relationship, if any, between the independent and dependent variables.
The other can increase, decrease or stay the same. It depends on the relationship between the two variables.
There can be. It depends on the variables.
It depends on the direction of the relationship. Consider y = x2 where x is a real number. The relationship from x to y is a function but the one in the opposite direction (x = sqrt(y) is not a function because it is a one-to-many mapping.
it would be a function * * * * * Not always. It depends on the direction of the relationship. Consider y = x2 where x is a real number. The relationship from x to y is a function but the one in the opposite direction (x = sqrt(y) is not a function because it is a one-to-many mapping.
Depends on the experiment - there may be no relationship. Typically proportional, inversly proportional, proportional to the log and similar are given in set experiments at schools. So a staight line going up and straingt line going down or a curve of some sort when drawn as a line graph.
The word sought is probably "function", although in some contexts "equation" would also work.
