Which of the following would illustrate a quadratic relation between the dependent and independent variables when graphed? a. a graph of mass of water vs. the volume of water in a drinking glass b. a graph of the area a of a circle vs. its radius r (a = πr2) c. a graph of the equation a = 1/ b d. a graph of distance vs. time for a car moving at constant speed

option A. a graph of the area of a circle vs. its radius r (A = πr²).

Explanation:

A quadratic relation between the dependent and independent variables shows the independent variable raised to the power of 2.

This is it is a polynomial with general form ax² + bx + c, whewre a, b, and c, named coeficients,  are constants.

The function is y =  ax² + bx + c, where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.

As stated in the question, the area of a circle is given by A = πr².

In this case, A is the dependent variable and r is the independent variable.

π is assumed as the coefficient of the quadratic term, and the other coefficients are assumed 0, since there are no either terms on r or constants.

The equation a = 1/b  is an inverse relation, not a quadratic relation.

The relation of distance vs. time for a car moving at constant speed is a linear relation of the kind v = u + st.

The mass of water vs. the volume of water in a drinking glass is a direct relation, mass = density × volume

Therefore, the only quadratic relation is shown by  a graph of the area of a circle vs. its radius r.

hi i’m sorry to call us today so we will get back with y’all and we will have to do it haha omg was the day

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
