Liam's math teacher said that each question answered correctly on a test would be worth 5 points. Answer the questions below regarding the relationship between the number of questions correct and the score on the test.
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2
The independent variable, x, represents the
, and the dependent variable is the
, because the
depends on the
.
A function relating these variables is T, left bracket, x, right bracket, equalsT(x)=
.
So T, left bracket, 17, right bracket, equalsT(17)=
, meaning 1717
.
The independent variable, x, represents the number of questions correct, and the dependent variable is the score on the test, because the score depends on the number of questions correct.
A function relating these variables is T(x), where T represents the score on the test and x represents the number of questions correct.
So T(x) = 5x
Therefore, T(17) = 5(17) = 85, meaning the score on the test is 85.
