Juan has 20 books to sell. He sells the books for $15 each. The amount of money Juan makes from selling x books is represented by a function. f(x)=15xf(x)=15x What is the practical range of the function? All multiples of 20 between 0 and 300, inclusive. All real numbers. All integers from 0 to 20, inclusive. All multiples of 15 between 0 and 300, inclusive.

OpenStudy (narissa):

is it all real numbers?

OpenStudy (sooobored):

range would be the possible amount of money he would be able to make if he sells no books, he makes $0 if he sells all books, he makes $300 if he sells n books, he makes $15*n

OpenStudy (narissa):

b?

OpenStudy (catpidigm):

I think b too

OpenStudy (sooobored):

no, because it is impossible to sell only a fraction of a book

OpenStudy (sooobored):

so making 1$ is not an answer hence all real numbers does not apply

OpenStudy (narissa):

ok idk what is it thats confusing

OpenStudy (sooobored):

what are the possible amounts of money he could make selling books?

OpenStudy (narissa):

d

OpenStudy (sooobored):

i would agree with D its possible to make 0 if he doesnt sell any books if he sells a couple of books, the amount of money he would get would have to be a multiple of 15 and if he sells all books, he would only make 300

OpenStudy (narissa):

so d?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Ok It is C

OpenStudy (3mar):

x varies from 0 to 20 only this is the practical domain

OpenStudy (sooobored):

range not domain

OpenStudy (narissa):

thanks man come to the next post

OpenStudy (sooobored):

it is D

OpenStudy (3mar):

Oh sorry I though t domain for practical domain: A

OpenStudy (sooobored):

but he only has 20 books @3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

but I am talking about range, which means: related to y, i.e 15*0>>>15*20

OpenStudy (narissa):

@bonnieisflash1.0

OpenStudy (narissa):

what is it @3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

You need the practical domain: it is A
