You spend c dollars for p identical pairs of pants. A friend claims that because c increases if you increase p and p increases if you increase c either c or p could be the independent variable. Is your friend right or wrong? Explain.

Your friend is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have that you spend c dollars for p identical pairs of pants. We can represent this using:

C = kP.

Where k is the price for one pair of pants whereby the amount of dollars you spend depends on the number of pants picked.

C is the dependent variable here, depending on P and P is independent. Therefore, you have only one independent variable which is P.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
