The area of a square depends on the length of its sides. Answer the questions below regarding the relationship between the area of the square and the length of one side of the square.
The independent variable, x, represents the length of one side of the square, and the dependent variable is the the area of the square, because the the area of the square depends on the length of one side of the square.
A function relating these variables is Q(x)= blank*.
So Q(3)= blank*, meaning if 3
-is the area of the square then
-is the length of one side then
blank*
-would be the length of one side
-would be the area of the square
.
A function relating these variables is Q(x)= x^2.
So Q(3)= 3^2, meaning if 3 is the length of one side then the area of the square would be 9.
