Question
- communicate and justify during a chemistry experiment, julian records how the temperature changes over time using ordered pairs (time in minutes, temperature in °c). (0, 15), (5, 20), (10, 50), (15, 80), (20, 100), (25, 100) a. which variable is the independent variable? the dependent variable? explain. b. is the relation a function? explain. c. which variable represents the input of the relation? the output? d. what are the domain and range of this relation?
Part a
In an experiment, the independent variable is the one that is manipulated or controlled (time here, as it's set by the experimenter), and the dependent variable depends on it (temperature, as it changes with time).
A relation is a function if each input (time value here) has exactly one output (temperature value). Checking the ordered pairs, each time (first element of the pair) is unique or maps to only one temperature.
In a relation, the input is the independent variable (time, as it's the first element in ordered pairs) and the output is the dependent variable (temperature, the second element).

Independent variable: Time (in minutes) because it is the variable that is controlled or changed in the experiment. Dependent variable: Temperature (in \(^\circ\text{C}\)) because it depends on the time elapsed during the experiment.
