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.
A broken nose will be painful, swollen and red. Other typical symptoms include: 1  bruising around the eyes (black eyes). 2  a nosebleed. 3  tenderness when you touch the nose. 4  a crunching or crackling sound when you touch the nose. 5  the nose looking deformed.
