Literal Equations are what are commonly referred to as formulas, or formulae. They are recipes for finding the numeric value of a variable, assigned a "letter" name (hence "literal") that typically stands for some sort of real-world quantity, such as Volume, Temperature, Pressure, amount of interest an investment earned, and so on.This variable has an established relationship to other quantities that are also assigned "letter" names in the recipe (the equation),that gives the relationship between (or among) the quantities. The deal is, if we know the values for all of the variables in the recipe except one, then we can plug those values into the recipe and solve for the one variable whose value we don't know.
The answer depends on whether the ratio is in the context of the starting value, or time (over which the change takes place), or some other variable.
Basically the fact that some variable is squared - or that one variable is multiplied with another variable.
To evaluate a function means to replace the variable with some value, and calculate the value of the function. For example, in the parabola y = x2 (or, using functional notation, f(x) = x2), if you replace x with 10, and calculate x2, you are evaluating the function for that specific value.
