Hello!

First, let me explain the difference between discrete and continuous.

Discrete: only some numbers of the interval are on the input. For example, in the interval 1 - 10, consider only the integers.

Continuous: all the numbers of the interval are on the input. For example: in the interval 1 - 10, all values are considered (integers and decimals).

Knowing it, let's analyze your exercise:

The function D = 25 + 0.3x represents the daily rental charge D (in dollars) for x miles driven.

We can represent miles as integers and also decimals, right?

• 2 miles

,

• 5.750 miles

So, it means that all values can be considered.

Answer:

So, this is a continuous domain.
