Paisley wants to prepare a graph of the rate of growth of a lentil seedling. Which factors would be the independent and dependent variables? A.The height of the lentil seedling would be an independent variable and the length of the leaves the dependent variable. B.The height of the lentil seedling would be an independent variable and the time passed would be the dependent variable. C.The time passed would be an independent variable and the height of the lentil seedling would be the dependent variable.

Which do you think it is? Why or why not? It would be easier to tutor you if you explained what about the question is giving you trouble.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Independent variable is a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

now can u guess the correct answer ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No ?

OpenStudy (colburntaz):

The neighbor kid was asking me this question and I was just wondering what the answer was is all

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Time will not change with respect to the growth rate. Time is definite and will always change as it changes. So it's an independent variable.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

but the growth is dependent on time. As more time passes ..more will be the growth !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u getting me ?

OpenStudy (colburntaz):

B is what I was thanking thanks you for your answer

OpenStudy (abhisar):

but B is wrong !!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u got the correct option now ?

OpenStudy (colburntaz):

I'm not in school or a kid doing homework so I give up thanks anyways

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It's C anywaysss...see it states clearly that time is independent variable as i told u \(\color{green}{\huge\ddot\smile}\)
