the dependent variable is the y-value. the dependent variable means it relys on another variable for its answer. without the other variable this variable would not exist.
the independent variable is the x-value. the independent variable can exist on its own without the dependent variable.
i mention x-values and y-values... this is only if you are using an x and y value for your application. there are other applications... like speed... where the dependent variable for speed would be time and the independent variable for speed would be distance. and for acceleration the dependent variable would be speed and the independent variable would be distance.
Any variable can be declared as the independent variable, then the other would be the dependent variable. However, it is quite common to arbitrarily define y as the dependent variable - a variable that depends on x.
The input variable is called the independent variable, and the ouput variable is called the dependent variable.
the input variable is called the independent variable and the output variable is called the dependent variable.
The independent variable is the variable that is altered by the scientist, and the dependent variable's value is dependent on the value of the independent variable.
and independent variable is bigger than a dependent variable
The dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable, so when the independent variable changes, so does the dependent variable.
The independent variable of an experiment is the variable that you change, and the dependent variable is the result of the independent variable.
The Independent variable is the one you control. The dependent variable is controlled by the Independent Variable.
Math: Independent variable is what you change. Dependent variable is what you measure.
the dependent variable changes based on the independent variable
An independent variable is the variable you can change in an experiment. On a graph, it's on the X-axis. A dependent variable is the result of changing the independent variable. It is literally dependent on it. The dependent variable goes on the Y-axis.
