Express a certain variable as a function of another variable 2007-06-12
From Gilligan:
The volume V of a right circular cone is V = (1/3)pi(r^2)(h). If the height is TWICE the radius, express the volume V as a function of r.
I see the phrase "express a certain variable as a function of another variable" a lot in math books. What exactly does that mean? Is there another way to say the same thing?
