Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>The question is </u></em>
Identify the domain and the range, using words and inequalities
Let
x -----> the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month
y ----> the price per month
we know that
Part 1) For the value of x between 0 kWh and 400 kWh
The price is equal to
therefore
The domain is the interval ------> [0,400)
The domain is all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 kWh and less than 400 kWh
The range is ($30)
The range is equal to $30
Part 2) For the value of x equal to 400 kWh or more per month
The domain is the interval -----> [400, infinite)
The domain is all real numbers greater than or equal to 400 kWh
The price is
<em>Find the range</em>
For x=400 kWh
so
The range is the interval -----> [38.8, infinite)
