Variables And Patterns: Investigation 1 And 2 (York) - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    A quantity that changes or varies

    • Axis

    • Quadrant

    • Variable

    • Table

    Correct Answer
    A. Variable
    Explanation
    A variable is a quantity that can change or vary. It is a symbol or letter that represents an unknown value or a value that can change in a mathematical expression or equation. Variables are used to solve equations, analyze patterns, and represent unknown quantities in various mathematical problems. They are an essential concept in algebra and are commonly used in scientific and mathematical calculations.

    A graph that shows the relationship between two variables

    • Coordinate graph

    • Dependent variable

    • Rule

    • X-axis

    Correct Answer
    A. Coordinate graph
    Explanation
    A coordinate graph is a type of graph that shows the relationship between two variables. It consists of two perpendicular lines, the x-axis and the y-axis, that intersect at a point called the origin. The x-axis represents one variable, while the y-axis represents the other variable. Points on the graph are plotted based on their corresponding values for each variable. This allows us to visually analyze and understand the relationship between the two variables, such as identifying patterns or trends.

  • 4. 

    A change that occurs in a predictable wayExample:  5, 10, 15, 20, .....

    • Table

    • Graph

    • Variable

    • Pattern

    Correct Answer
    A. Pattern
    Explanation
    The given sequence of numbers follows a consistent pattern where each number is obtained by adding 5 to the previous number. This pattern allows us to predict the next number in the sequence. Therefore, the correct answer is "pattern".

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A summary of predictable data that tells how to find the next value

    • X-axis

    • Y-axis

    • Change

    • Rule

    Correct Answer
    A. Rule
    Explanation
    The term "rule" refers to a set of guidelines or principles that can be used to determine the next value in a sequence or pattern. In this context, the summary suggests that the predictable data provides information on how to find the next value, and this information is likely to be in the form of a rule. The rule could involve a mathematical formula, a logical pattern, or any other consistent relationship between the given values.

    The name of the unit we are studying is

    • Variables and Negatives

    • Accentuate the Variable

    • Vampires and Patterns

    • Variables and Patterns

    Correct Answer
    A. Variables and Patterns
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Variables and Patterns" because the other options do not accurately describe the unit being studied. "Variables and Negatives" does not mention patterns, "Accentuate the Variable" does not mention variables, and "Vampires and Patterns" is unrelated to the topic. Therefore, "Variables and Patterns" is the most appropriate choice.

    A rule that represents a mathematical relationship.Examples:  P = 5h                  Raniqua's age = Amy's age + 3                  3n + 1

    • Function

    • Formula

    • Variable

    • Table

    Correct Answer
    A. Formula
    Explanation
    A formula is a rule that represents a mathematical relationship. It is a way to express a mathematical equation or calculation in a concise and symbolic form. Formulas typically involve variables, which are placeholders for specific values, and can be used to solve mathematical problems or make calculations. In the given examples, P = 5h, Raniqua's age = Amy's age + 3, and 3n + 1 are all formulas that represent mathematical relationships.

  • 8. 

    To become different

    • Variable

    • Rule

    • Change

    • Dependent variable

    Correct Answer
    A. Change
    Explanation
    The word "change" is the correct answer because it is the only option that accurately describes the action of becoming different. The other options, such as "variable," "rule," and "dependent variable," do not directly convey the concept of becoming different. Therefore, "change" is the most appropriate choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Every graph should always have which of the following:

    • Title

    • A label or title for x-axis

    • A label or title for y-axis

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "all of the above" because every graph should have a title to provide a clear description of the data being presented. Additionally, a label or title for the x-axis is necessary to indicate the variable being measured on the horizontal axis, and a label or title for the y-axis is required to represent the variable being measured on the vertical axis. All of these elements are essential for proper understanding and interpretation of the graph.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A variable that depends on the other variable.For example:  The number of customers on a bike tour depends on the cost of the tour.

    • Formula

    • Rule

    • Dependent variable

    • Axis

    Correct Answer
    A. Dependent variable
    Explanation
    The dependent variable is the variable that is influenced or affected by another variable. In this example, the number of customers on a bike tour is dependent on the cost of the tour. The cost of the tour is the independent variable, as it is the factor that determines the number of customers. The dependent variable changes in response to changes in the independent variable.

  • 11. 

    The vertical axis on a coordinate graph

    • X-axis

    • Y-axis

    • Quadrant

    • Variable

    Correct Answer
    A. Y-axis
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the y-axis. The vertical axis on a coordinate graph is called the y-axis. It represents the values of the dependent variable in a graph and is perpendicular to the x-axis. The y-axis helps to visualize and understand the relationship between the dependent and independent variables in a graph.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The horizontal line on a coordinate graph

    • X-axis

    • Y-axis

    • Quadrant

    • Diagonal

    Correct Answer
    A. X-axis
    Explanation
    The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate graph. It is used to represent the values of the independent variable, usually denoted by "x". The x-axis intersects with the y-axis at the origin (0,0) and divides the coordinate plane into four quadrants. It is an essential component of a coordinate graph as it helps in locating and plotting points based on their x-coordinate values.
