It is always because if you have an improper fraction, the larger number is always the numerator. To get a reciprocal, you flip the fraction so that the denominator is the numerator, and vice versa. If the numerator is always bigger, and you make it the denominator, it would be proper.

Domain means the values of independent variable(input) which will give defined output to the function.

Given:

The height h of a projectile is a function of the time t it is in the air. The height in feet for t seconds is given by the function

$h(t)=-16t^2 + 96t$

Solution:

To get defined output, the height h(t) need to be greater than or equal to zero. We need to set up an inequality and solve it to find the domain values.

$To \; find \; domain:\\\\h(t) \geq0\\\\-16t^2+96t \geq 0\\Factoring \; -16t \; in \; the \; left \; side \; of \; the \; inequality\\\\-16t(t-6) \geq 0\\Step \; 1: Find \; Boundary \; Points \; by \; setting \; up \; above \; inequality \; to \; zero.\\\\t(t-6)=0\\Use \; zero \; factor \; property \; to \; solve\\\\t=0 \; (or) \; t = 6\\\\Step \; 2: \; List \; the \; possible \; solution \; interval \; using \; boundary \; points\\(- \infty,0], \; [0, 6], \& [6, \infty)$

$Step \; 3:Pick \; test \; point \; from \; each \; interval \; to \; check \; whether \\\; makes \; the \; inequality \; TRUE \; or \; FALSE\\\\When \; t = -1\\-16(-1)(-1-6) \geq 0\\-112 \geq 0 \; FALSE\\(-\infty, 0] \; is \; not \; solution\\Also \; Logically \; time \; t \; cannot \; be \; negative\\\\When \; t = 1\\-16(1)(1-6) \geq 0\\80 \geq 0 \; TRUE\\ \; [0, 6] \; is \; a \; solution\\\\When \; t = 7\\-16(7)(7-6) \geq 0\\-112 \geq 0 \; FALSE\\ \; [6, -\infty) \; is \; not \; solution$

Conclusion:

The domain of the function is the time in between 0 to 6 seconds

$0 \leq t \leq 6$

The height will be positive in the above interval.
