Question

What is a variable term?
Is x+4 a variable term?

Answer 1

In mathematical terms, the dependent variable y represents the value of a function of x. To simplify formulas, it is often useful to use the same symbol for the dependent variable y and the function mapping x onto y.

Answer 2

So x+4 is a variable term right?

Answer 3

i think so. It has one term (being the x) so that would make it univariate. Univariate means involving one variate or variable quantity

Answer 4

Okay. Thanks for answering :)

Answer 5

The variable term would be x. 4 is the constant term (term independent of x).
