A.
all positive integers and zero
B.
all real numbers
C.
all real numbers except 0
D.
all positive real numbers except 10

Answer 1

Answer:

All positive integers and zero

A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

A box of pencils costs $10

The total cost (c) as a function of the number of boxes (b) is expressed as

c = f(b) = 10b

The function, f(b) = 10b

b is independent variable and c is dependent variable.

For any function find domain using independent variable.

b represents number of boxes.

Number of boxes neither be negative nor decimal.

Possible value of b: {0,1,2,3,4,5,.......}

All positive integers and zero.

Domain: All positive integers and zero
