The altitude at which we boil an egg affects how long it takes for the egg to achieve perfect hardness.

It takes 198 seconds to boil a perfect egg at the lowest place possible, the edge of the Dead Sea, which has an




altitude of -418 meters.




The highest place possible is the summit of Mount Everest which has an altitude of 8848 meters. It takes 209




seconds to boil a perfect egg there.




T(a) models the time (in seconds) it takes to boil a perfect egg at an altitude of a meters.




Which number type is more appropriate for the domain of T?
