What is the domain and range of the function f(t)=7.2t models the average distance f(t) in kilometers that BOB rides his bike over time ,t, in hours?

Answer 1

Domain and range are #RR# but they can be limited (see explanation)

Generally, since for every real #t# the value can be calculated, the domain is #RR#, and the range is the same. It is a linear function and its range and domain are #RR#.

However if it is to be a model of a physical process the domain and range could be limited.

The domain of the function as a model of a process would be #RR_{+}# (i. e. only positive real numbers) because it is not possible for the time to go backwards.

The same limitations could be applied to the range. This can be explained in 2 ways:

1) If #t# is a positive number, then #7.2*t# is also positive. 2) You could also give the same reason as in case of the domain. The distance travelled cannot be negative.

Answer 2

Domain: All real numbers (t belongs to the set of real numbers). Range: All real numbers greater than or equal to 0 (f(t) is non-negative, representing distances).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
