If some one could me with these three questions i will be !me my teacher didn’t walk us through this at all

17) replace the given number for "x" and evaluate

a) x² + 2x + 1   ; when x = 3

  3² + 2(3) + 1

= 9 + 6 + 1

= 16

b) x² + 2x + 1   ; when x = -4

  (-4)² + 2(-4) + 1

= 16 - 8 + 1

= 9

c) x² + 2x + 1   ; when x = 3

  (-22.872)² + 2(-22.872) + 1

= 523.128384 - 45.744 + 1

= 478.384384

18) The dependent variable is affected by the other variable and is the "output"   The independent variable is the input.

a) y = 3x - 5;    "x" is the independent variable

b) the time of day is the independent variable  (you would input the time of day to calculate the temperature).

19) Let the x-axis represent the length of the lumber cut off and the y-axis represent the length of the lumber remaining.

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
