Question

Everbank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, is capable of seating 76,867 fans. The revenue for a particular game can be modeled as a function of the number of people in attendance, x. If each ticket costs $161, find the domain and range of this function.

Answer 1

The total revenue for the event would the total amount earned from the tickets sold. So if x people attended the event, then there would be $(161x). We must keep in mind though the the maximum seating is 76 876. That means that the maximum revenue that can be earned must not exceed $(161)(76 867) = . Hence we have f(x) = 161x where 0 ≤ x ≤ 76867. From this, we can see that the domain is [0, 76867] while range is [0, 12375587].
