can someone help me? Identify the independent and dependent variables. Eman is conducting an experiment to see how much sugar will dissolve in water as the temperature of the water is increased. A. The independent variable is the temperature of the water, and the dependent variable is the amount of sugar dissolved. B. The independent variable is the amount of sugar dissolved, and the dependent variable is the temperature of the water.

I can

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

what can you tell us so far ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

any thoughts, about it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that we r supos2 Identify the independent and dependent variables.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

An example: \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm Independent }\) variable is your "\(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm input }\)". \(\normalsize\color{brown }{ \rm Dependent }\) Dependent variable is your "\(\normalsize\color{brown}{ \rm output }\)". For example, in math, when we are taking about Independent and dependent variables, we are dealing with function (like) \(\normalsize\color{black}{ y=3x+1 }\) where the value of "y" \(\normalsize\color{black}{ \rm \underline{depends } }\) on what "x" value we choose to plug in.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

And in math (when we are taking about functions like y= [some thing that contains x] -- such as 3x+1 ) y is dependent variable x is independent variable

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

In your experiment, we want to see how much sugar will dissolve in water as the temperature of the water is increased. So the temperature is impacting the [increase in] sugar.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

which means temperature is what variable?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer A?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, that is right !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the help I'm really thankful for it

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

it is not a problem; yw!
