Given the function representing the growth of a town's population is,


f(x)=1500(1.05)^x

The domain of a function is the set of all possible inputs for a function. The function is expressed in terms of x, the number of years. The number of years cannot be negative.

So, the domain of the function is the set of all positive real numbers.
