Well, we in the math world represent the independent variable as x. It does not depend on anything. For example, one chocolate bar costs 2.50$. The independent variable is the number of chocolate bars ( the other variable does not decide how many chocolate bars are being bought), and the dependent variable is the cost (depends on the number of chocolate bars). Have a nice day and i hope you ace your math tests!

What is the manipulating variable the dependent variable or the independent variable?

The independent variable.


What is the diffrence between dependent variable and independent variable?

the dependent variable changes with the independent variable. the independent variable only changes when changed by the experimenter. Time is usually an independent variable.


What is an independent variable in math?

An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.


Describe the difference between a dependent and independent variable?

The dependent variable changes as a result of changes in the independent variable.Put another way,The Independent Variable is manipulated, and is known as the changed variable.The Dependent Variable is responding, and is known as the result.Example : In an experiment to test the effect of heating on evaporation, the various temperatures would be the independent variable, which will be changed by the experimenter. The amount of water that evaporates in a given time is the dependent variable, which is the data sought in the experiment.


Definition of independent variable and dependat variable?

The independent variable is the variable which you change. It is not changed by any outside factors and so is independent of them.The dependent variable is the variable which is changed by the independent variable changing and which you measure. It is dependent on another variable.
