Original
Variable
A factor that can change
equations
A mathematical statement that two things are equal; it consists of two expressions,
one on each side of an equals sign.
Data
A collection of facts, which might be numbers, words, measurements, observations
or simply descriptions.
quantitative variables
A variable that is measured on a number scale; a variable with a numeric value.
qualitative variable
A variable that is not numeric; also called a categorical variable, a qualitative
variable describes data that fits into categories.
independent variable
A variable that, as it changes, affects another variable (called the dependent
variable); for example, as a person pumps more gas into a car's tank (the
independent variable), the cost of the purchase rises (the dependent variable).
dependent variable
A variable that is changed by another variable (called the independent variable); for
example, when a person is purchasing gas, the cost (the dependent variable) rises
as more gas is pumped into a car's tank (the independent variable).
graph
A diagram showing the relationship between variable quantities on two axes drawn
at right angles.
x-axis
the horizontal line on a graph usually plots the independent variable
y-axis
the vertical line on a graph usually plots the dependent variable
Input
A quantitative variable that is chosen to find a solution, or output, of a function.
