What is true of the function g (x) = - 2x2 + 5? g (x) is the multiplication of g and x. - 2x2 + 5 is the input of the function. The variable x represents the independent variable. The variable g represents the input of the function.

Step-by-step explanation

Here, we want to select what is true of the function.

The correct answer is that the variable x represents the independent variable

It represents the independent variable because the values of x does not depend on the values of g (x). In fact, the value of g (x) are dependent on the values gotten through the substitution of the different values of x into the equation.

Thus, we can confidently say that the function g (x) is the dependent variable as its values depend on the value for that x
