Question
Jillian walked 0.5 miles before she started jogging at an average pace of 5 miles per hour. The equation d = 0.5 + 5t can be used to relate the total distance, d, in miles to the time, t, that Jillian spent jogging. What are the independent and dependent variables?

In the given equation \( d = 0.5 + 5t \), the variables can be identified as follows:
- **Independent Variable**: The independent variable is the variable that you can control or choose freely, and it is typically the input in a function. In this context, \( t \) (the time Jillian spent jogging) is the independent variable.
- **Dependent Variable**: The dependent variable is the variable that depends on the independent variable and it is typically the output in a function. In this case, \( d \) (the total distance Jillian has traveled) is the dependent variable because it depends on the time \( t \) spent jogging.
So, the independent variable is \( t \) (time spent jogging), and the dependent variable is \( d \) (total distance traveled).
