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.
1 Check to see if your nose is still bleeding after 10 minutes. 2  If it is, hold it for 10 more minutes. 3  Most nosebleeds will stop after 10 to 20 minutes of direct pressure. 4  Put a thin layer of a saline-or water-based nasal gel, such as NasoGel, or an antiseptic nasal cream inside your nose. Spraying the nose with a medicated nasal spray (such as Afrin) before applying pressure may help stop a nosebleed. 2  You will have to breathe through your mouth. 3  Apply an ice pack to your nose and cheeks. 4  Cold will constrict the blood vessels and help stop the bleeding. 5  Keep pinching for a full 10 minutes.
