Ineed to know what the dependent and the independent quantities are. plz someone

The independent variable is the time, and dependent variable is temperature of the tea. Constants are initial and room temp.

We want to rewrite 100*x^8 as the square of a monomial, we will find that the monomial is:

10*x^4

A monomial is a polynomial of a single term, so we want to write 100*x^8 as the square of something like:

A*x^n

Then we have:

Then we must hae:

A^2 = 100

A = √100 = 10

And:

2*n = 8

n = 8/2 = 4

Then the monomial is:

10*x^4
