We have the expression:
When we have rational functions, where the denominator is a function of x, we have a restriction for the domain for any value of x that makes the denominator equal to 0.
That is because if the denominator is 0, then we have a function f(x) that is a division by zero and is undefined.
If we have a value that makes f(x) to be undefined, then this value of x does not belong to the domain of f(x).
Expression:
Answer: There is no restriction for x in the expression.

The closest to the maximum number of cups the punch bowl can hold is 30
<h3>How to determine the number of cups?</h3>The given parameters are:
1 cup = 15 cubic inches
Diameter of bowl, d = 12 inches
The radius is the half of the diameter.
So, we have:
r = 6
The volume of the bowl is then calculated using:
This gives
Evaluate
V = 452.16
The maximum number of cups is then calculated using:
Cups = 452.16/15
Evaluate
Cups = 30.1444
Approximate
Cups = 30
Hence, the closest to the maximum number of cups the punch bowl can hold is 30
