Both independent and dependent variables are central to mathematics and science. If you don’t know what these two variables are and how they differ, it will be difficult for you to analyze experiments or set up equations. Fortunately, we’ve made these ideas accessible! Everything you’re trying to measure is a variable. It can be almost anything, including things, times, emotions, events, or ideas (Rozi et al., 2021). If you want to know how individuals feel about different TV shows, the variables in the experiment are TV show and feelings. Fertilizer type and plant height are variables when studying how different fertilizers affect plant growth (Bahodirovich, 2022). Every experiment has two important variables: an independent variable and a dependent variable. What the scientist changes or changes himself is the independent variable. Dependent variable: The object of investigation or measurement. A variable whose change is not affected by any other variable in the experiment is called an independent variable (sometimes called a manipulated variable). continue…
