Answer:

The domain is all whole numbers greater than or equal to zero

The range is all real numbers greater than or equal to $27

Explanation:

Let

y -----> the income in dollars

x ----> the number of cups of coffee Jim delivers

we have


y=3x+27

The domain is the interval -----> [0,∞)

The domain is all whole numbers greater than or equal to zero (Remember that the number of cups cannot be a negative number or a decimal number)

The range is the interval ------> [27,∞)


y\geq \$27

The range is all real numbers greater than or equal to $27

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
