Question

C=6.3r gives the approximate circumference C of a circle as a function of its radius r. Identify the independent and dependent variables in this relationship.

Answer 1

the independent variable is the one you change and is usually on the right side. the dependent is the one that changes because of the function and is usually by itself on the left side. but not always! if you have x and y, x is most likely the independent and y is the dependent. in this case, r is independent and C is dependent
