In calculus, a function is typically graphed with the horizontal axis representing the independent variable and the vertical axis representing the dependent variable. In this function, y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable. 1 Mathematics.
Broken noses account for approximately 40% of all facial fractures. Your nose is supported by cartilage (in the front) and bone (on the back and bridge) â when this framework of bone and cartilage is struck with a force, the bones can crack or fracture â resulting in a broken nose.
Nosebleeds can be caused by, or made more likely by: 1  Trauma or accident, such as being punched in the face. 2  Damage to the inside of the nose, from nose picking or a cold. 3  Nose blowing too hard.  Dry conditions causing dry and cracked skin in the 1  nose. Blood clotting disorders.  Overuse of decongestants.
