@jim_thompson5910 One more?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

The domain refers to the set of allowed inputs (usually x) of a function

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

So what is x? Is it the cost? Or the number of movies you rent?

anonymous · Answer

x is equal to the movies rented.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

number of movies rented, yes

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so is it possible to rent say x = 4 movies?

anonymous · Answer

Yes.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

how about x = -22 movies

anonymous · Answer

No.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so you can go below 10, but you cannot go below 0

anonymous · Answer

Okay. My thought was because you're a member, the main cost ($10.00) would be the starting point.SO, 10 +

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

that's the cost you pay regardless of how many movies you rent

so even if you don't rent anything at all (x = 0), then you still pay $10

This is the lowest cost you pay, so therefore, the smallest value in the range (not the domain)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so that's why it helps to identify what the domain is referring to

anonymous · Answer

OH! Okay. thank you once again!
