Gregor is documenting the height of pea plants each week. He has determined the function to be f(x) = 2x + 1. Based on the situation above, describe any necessary restrictions to the domain and range. Provide justification for the restrictions.

@rsadhvika

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

Gregor got nothing better to do wid his time :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gotta has to make sure his pea plants are the right height xD

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

he is measuring the height of pea plants each week and, and documenting them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the range is 0 or higher?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm assuming a pea plant can't be shorter then 0 inches lol

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

Yup, height can never be negative... thats the first thing came to my mind also :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe its an upside down pea plant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could be growing backwards into the ground :)

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

lol dont think extremes okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so the range is 0, whats domain again?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

so, range is f(x) >= 0

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

since he starts from today, time also we can take as >= 0 right ?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

so domain also >=0 because, the time here is assumed to be starting at 0, and oly goes forward... no timetravel/back to future stuff here ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the domain is equal to or greater then 0 because he can't go back in time to plant a pea plant lol?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

yup ! we're in same page lol

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

just i want u notice one thing.

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

Given function :- ``` f(x) = 2x + 1 ```

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

right side, x is time. left side, f(x) is height.

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

to this funciton, if u give time x, it gives u height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so the time starts at 2 lol?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

time starts at 0

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

f(x) = 2x+1 put x = 0, f(x) = 1

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

so he started measuring, when the pea plant was 1 inch long

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the height range would be 1 or more?

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

omg ! you're goood :) yes

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

range wud be >= 1

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

domain wud be >= 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright I got it

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

nice :) you're alert enough to catch my mistake before :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so our pea plant is not capable of time travel and cannot shrink to the negatives :)

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

yup ! we're not such advanced yet lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe someday lol

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

may be if we do time travel also, height can never start at negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eh we'll figure something out lol

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

u have a plant. or u dont have it there is no such thing as negative height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol just gotta believe

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

length = can never become negative thats obvious lol, believing is different thing

OpenStudy (rsadhvika):

:)

Amelia is planning the trajectory of her next flight using the altitude and distance from Paris, France. She has determined her function to be f(x) = -4x + 102. Based on the situation above, describe any necessary restrictions to the domain and range. Provide justification for the restrictions.
