The outcome of an arithmetic expression or function is called:

• A. Horizontal value
• B. Derived value
• C. Basic value
• D. Vertical value

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In computing and spreadsheet applications, the result generated after evaluating an arithmetic expression or applying a function is referred to as a derived value.
It is called "derived" because it is not directly entered, but rather calculated based on one or more inputs or expressions.
For example, in Excel, =A1+A2 results in a derived value.
