The expression H(t) = 70 + 100(0.819)t makes sense only for non-negative values of t

domain: t ≥ 0

How to find the domain

The domain for the situation represent the valid value for the variable t in the context of the problem.

In this case, time t should be a non-negative quantity since you cannot have a negative time in the context of this problem.

Therefore the appropriate domain for the situation is

t ≥ 0
