Statin side effects: Weigh the benefits and risks. Statin side effects: Weigh the benefits and risks. Statin side effects can be uncomfortable, making it seem like the risks outweigh the benefits of these powerful cholesterol-lowering medications.
The independent variable is the amount of light and the moth's reaction is the dependent variable. A change in the independent variable directly causes a change in the dependent variable. If the dependent and independent variables are plotted on a graph, the x-axis would be the independent variable and the y-axis would be the dependent variable.
y = sin Â½x. -- there is only half a period in that interval: The constant a thus signifies how frequently the function oscillates; so many radians per unit of x. (When the independent variable is the time t, as it often is in physics, then the constant is written as Ï (omega): sin Ït.
