What's the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the value of f(x) when x=-3 f(x)=-2x-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont get it either what are you trying to ask

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does it make more sense if I said to you: Solve for y y=-2x-3 when x=-3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't let the notation get you confused. It is still the same thing. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i always get confused by that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You'll get used to it with more practice. Remember that f(x) is just another way to say "what is the value of the function at x?" And the function is defined as "y," so it's the same as saying "What is the value of y at x?" Just always keep in mind the variables can change (it's not always going to be "x" and "y") but what they stand for is always the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks you guys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep any time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright heres another one Which values represent the independent variable? (–2, 4), (3, –2), (1, 0), (5, 5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. {–2, 3, 1, 5} B. {4, –2, 0, 5} C. {–2, 4, 3, –2} D. {–2, –1, 0, 5}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, of x and y, which one is the independent variable and which one is the dependent variable?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is the number on the right of the thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of the first number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The value of y DEPENDS on what x is. So we say that y is the dependent variable, and x is the independent variable.As x changes, y changes. So if you are looking for the independent variables, look for the x's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let jb1515g answer this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe I just did lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup
