PLEASE HELP!!! The number of users of the internet in a town increased by a factor of 1.01 every year from 2000 to 2010. The function below shows the number of internet users f(x) after x years from the year 2000. f(x) = 3000(1.01)^x Which of the following is a reasonable domain for the function? 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 2000 ≤ x ≤ 2010 0 ≤ x ≤ 3000 All positive integers

Any idea?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Domain will answer the question "What can x be?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no clue

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

What can x be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know. I'm new to this type of math.

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Well it's from the year 2000 to 2010

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Conventionally we would set 2000 as the origin

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

So \(0\le x\le10\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. So would it be A or B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because what you wrote about the years 200-2010 and 0≤x≤10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry *2000

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

But you won't have \(\Large 3000\times1.01^{2000}\) because the index is too large

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. So it's A right? :)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANKS :)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

no problem :D
