Noticing that all positive values of x give real, positive, and single values to y, we discover that the locus has but one branch which extends to the right of the axis of ordinates, extends indefinitely, and lies above the axis of abscissas. Again, giving negative values to x, we have When x=--1, y= 1, giving the point-1, 1; "x=-2, y=-l, " " ".-2.-1; and for all subsequent negative values of x, y has real, negative, and single values, hence we learn that the locus has a single branch extending indefinitely in the third angle If we make y=o, x=-1;whence we see that the locus cuts the axis of abscissas at o. If we make x = o, y = 3; and hence the locus cuts the axis of ordinates at o, 3. 19. The Independent Variable is the one to which we assign arbitrary values, usually x. The other is called the Dependent Variable. This distinction is made simply for convenience, and is not founded on any difference in the nature of the variables; either variable may be treated as the independent variable. 20.
