dependent variable

In science, the dependent variable is your result from your independent variable.

Jack is conducting a science experiment. He is growing a rose plant, a marigold plant, and a sunflower plant to see which can grow the tallest. He gives all three plants the same amount of sunlight and water. His dependent variable would be how tall each plant grows because it is the result of his experiment.

independent variable

In science, it is the variable that you intentionally change.

In an experiment, Lyndsey has three sunflower plants. They are all given the same amount of sunlight; however, she gives one drop of water to one plant, two drops to another, and no water to the third. Lyndsey's independent variable is the amount of water.

Gorgeous and funny. She is sweet and very smart. Someone you can always talk to, she's always there for everyone and is a great listener. She's the life of the party. Very protective of the ones she loves. But she can make you cry if you get on her bad side. She's unique.

Variable

1. An unknown number in a math equation.

2. A named region of memory in a computer program.

1. 3=5x solve for the variable x.

2. Don't use global variables; keeping track of all the subroutines modifying the same memory gets very confusing very fast.

Mule Variations

This album was Tom Waits' 1999 release, and his thirteenth. The songs range from Big in Japan, a smooth but tough rock song, to Come On Up To the House, a powerful telling of a world's troubles. Waits did good again, striking a strange chord with Chocolate Jesus, and tugging your thought strings with Black Market Baby.

An excerpt from Mule Variations'-
Get Behind the Mule

Punctuated birds on the power line
In a Studebaker with the Birdie Joe Joaks
I'm diggin' all the way to China
With a silver spoon
While the hangman fumbles with the noose, boy
The hangman fumbles with the noose
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
