The number of unwatched shows in Sylvia’s DVR is 85. This number grows by 20 unwatched shows per week. The function N (t)=85+20t

Question

represents the relation between the number of unwatched shows, N, and the time, t, measured in weeks. What is the dependant variable?

Unwatched shows

Sylvia

Time

The DVR

Answer 1

In the function \( N(t) = 85 + 20t \), the dependent variable is the number of unwatched shows, \( N \). This is because the number of unwatched shows depends on the time \( t \) (measured in weeks). As time progresses, the number of unwatched shows changes according to the function.

So, the correct answer is Unwatched shows.
