independent variable
/,ɪndɪ'pɛndənt_'vɜriəbəl/
Definition that contains independent variable
- limit the mathematical value toward which a function goes as the independent variable approaches infinity
- argument a variable in a logical or mathematical expression whose value determines the dependent variable; if f(x)=y, x is the independent variable
- factor an independent variable in statistics
- domain (mathematics) the set of values of the independent variable for which a function is defined
- exponential a function in which an independent variable appears as an exponent
- inverse function a function obtained by expressing the dependent variable of one function as the independent variable of another; f and g are inverse functions if f(x)=y and g(y)=x
- differential calculus the part of calculus that deals with the variation of a function with respect to changes in the independent variable (or variables) by means of the concepts of derivative and differential
- limit point the mathematical value toward which a function goes as the independent variable approaches infinity
- domain of a function (mathematics) the set of values of the independent variable for which a function is defined
- method of fluxions the part of calculus that deals with the variation of a function with respect to changes in the independent variable (or variables) by means of the concepts of derivative and differential
