Question

Valerie's sister gave her $58 to buy skeins of yarn for a knitting project. her sister told her to buy as many skeins of yarn as she can with the money she gave her. the function f ( b ) = 58 − 7 . 25 b can be used to determine how many skeins of yarn valerie can buy, where b is the number of skeins of yarn and f ( b ) is the amount of money left after the skeins of yarn are purchased. what is the domain of the function in this situation? explain how you found your answer.

Answer 1

The domain of the function would be the set of non-negative integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function represents the set of all possible input values for the function. In this situation, the function is f(b) = 58 - 7.25b, where b is the number of skeins of yarn. The domain of the function would be the set of all possible values for b that make sense in this context. Since the number of skeins of yarn cannot be negative and it doesn't make sense to have a fractional number of skeins, we can determine that the domain of the function would be the set of non-negative integers.
