Final answer:

The appropriate domain for the function modeling the price of cumin seeds in Aiden's shop, p(w), is [1, 1000], representing all weights from 1 kilogram to 1000 kilograms that Aiden can sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

When discussing the function p(w) that models the price of w kilograms of cumin seeds in Aiden's shop, the appropriate domain of the function is the set of all possible values that w can take.

Since Aiden sells cumin seeds in any amount from 1 kilogram to 1000 kilograms, the domain of the function p(w) will be [1, 1000].

This includes all the real numbers from 1 to 1000, as these are all the possible weights of cumin seeds that Aiden could sell to his customers.
