Question

The cost to ride a ferris wheel is $2.00 per person. The ferris a wheel has a capacity of

Answer 1

Answer:

When we have a function f(x), the domain of the function is the set of all the inputs that "work" (Not only in a mathematical way, the context is also important) with the function f(x)

In this case, we have a function M(p) = $2*p

This function represents the amount of money collected depending on the number of people who ride on the ferris whell.

Then p can be only a whole number (we can not have 1.5 people, only whole numbers of people).

And we also know that the maximum capacity of the ferris is 64 people.

Then:

p ≤ 64

And we also should add the restriction:

0 ≤ p ≤ 64

(Because p can't be smaller than zero)

Such that p should also be an integer, then, the domain is:

D: p ∈ Z, p ∈ {0, 1, 2, ..., 64}
