Question 288466: Consider the quadratic equation, +y+=+x%5E2+
Which of the following statements is true?
A y is a function of x but x is not a function of y
B y is a function of x and x is a function of y
C y is not a function of x and x is not a function of y
D y is not a function of x but x is a function of y
I pretty much crossed out c and d because I'm pretty sure y IS a function of x... but I'm not sure if x is a function of y.
Thankyou! (:
