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.
So T(17) = 17*5 = 85, meaning the score on the test for 17 questions correct is 85.
