Question

1. Given are two algebraic representations depicting the position of an object:

(1) x(t)= vt + x₁ and (2) x = vt + x₁

The symbols in both equations can be classified as parameters, variables (dependent and independent).

Classify the symbols in each equation using your judgment. Select none if a symbol cannot be categorized, and you might place two symbols in one category if you decide so. Comment on your decisions.

x(t)= vt + x1	Parameter	Independent variable	Dependent variable	None of these

x = vt + x1	Parameter	Independent variable	Dependent variable	None of these
