Question

What is the independent variable in f(x)=6x

Answer 1

x

Explanation:

This is like y = 6(x), most always the y is dependent on x since it changes based on what x is, so x is independent, and y is dependent

Answer 2

In the equation f(x)=6x <--- that x is the independent variable.

Explanation:

The independent variable changes freely

f(x) would be the dependent variable because it depends on the independent variable.

ex.

You're going to the movies with your friends. Each tickets costs 6 dollars (from the 6 in the equation above). You are bringing 5 friends with you, that's what the independent variable is. Your total, or f(x), will be 35.
