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.

What is the proper term for a relationship between two variables in which one quantity depends on the other?
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.
As the independent variable increases the dependent variable does what?
Depends on the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.
To find the area of a rectangle multiply the length by the width Why is area called a derived quantity?
It's because we don't measure it directly but use measurements of two lengths to compute result. Our area mesurement depends then on precision of some other measured quantities.
When one variable increases the other does what?
The other can increase, decrease or stay the same. It depends on the relationship between the two variables.
What expression shows the relationship between the value of any term and n?
The answer depends on what n is. It could be the value to position rule.
