Since the number of cats has to be less than 28, a statement could be "the shelter can house no more than 28 cats.
90x + 4
Factor out GCF
2 ( 45x + 2)
1) -10,-2
2) -13,-3
3) 2,2
4) -5,3
We can use proportion to get the result
10 ----------- 5%
x ------------- 100%
Crossmultiply proportion
5*x=10*100
5x=1000 /:5 divide both sides by 5
x=1000:5
x=200 - its the answer
You define a function f(x) which gives the cost of buying x packages of cookies. You are asked for the domain of the function. That is, what values can x take on? x is the number of packages bought.
It makes no sense to buy a negative number of packages. It also makes no sense to buy 1/2 a package or 3/4 of a package as the store won’t sell you a fraction of a package. Try going to the store and buying half a package of oreo cookies. I doubt you’ll get very far :)
So it makes sense to buy 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... boxes of cookies. These are whole numbers. So the domain is the set of whole numbers. You could also write the domain like this {0, 1, 2, 3, ...} making sure to use the curly brackets as those denote a set.
