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.

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.

anonymous · Answer

Assuming that function represents her flight path, the domain can only include positive real numbers because negative distances are not possible. Also, her plan  can't leave the Earth, the range needs to restricted.
