Question

For the period 1999-2004, the average number of acres w (in thousands), used to grow watermelons in the United States can be modeled by the function w(t) = -6.26t + 172 where t is the number of years since 1999. Determine a reasonable domain and range for w(t). Explain the meaning of the range.

Answer 1

-6.26t + 172

domain is 1999 to 04 right?

Answer 2

range is 172 to 140.70

You get it by pluging in 0 in the function and 5 too because of difference in years.
