An independent variable of a function is the variable that you cannot change by changing the other. Changes to it are not caused by the equation.
If you want to graph how the money you invest in a bank account against the time that the money has been in the account, time is the independent variable. This is because the time will change at a constant rate, no matter how much or how often the money collects interest. If you change the equation, the money earned will change, but the time will not.

What are independent variables and dependent variables in math?
Independent variables are the input value of a function (usually x) and dependent variables are the output value of the function (usually y).
What is an alternating function?
An alternating function is a function in which the interchange of two independent variables changes the sign of the dependent variable.
Is the set of the independent variable of the function a domain?
No, because a function can also be defined between two interdependent variables so that there is no independent variable.
What is the differecnce between independent variables and dependent variables?
Every time the independent variables change, the dependent variables change.Dependent variables cannot change if the independent variables didn't change.
Independent vs dependent varibles?
Independent variables are ones that are not impacted by outside forces or other factors. Dependent variables are the ones that are impacted by other elements and need other elements in order to function.
