Let x represent the cost per gallon of gasoline.

Let y or f(x) represent the cost of x gallons of gasoline.

Given that the cost per gallon is $2.79,

The function would be

f(x) = 2.79x

The domain refers to all possible values of x that can fit into the function. Given that the truck holds a maximum of 28 gallons, the maximum value of x is 28. When the truck is empty, the minimum value of x is 0. Therefore, the domain is 0 to 28

The range refers to all possibel values of y or f(x) that can satisfy the function.

When x = 0, f(x) = 2.79 * 0 = 0

When x = 28, f(x) = 2.79 * 28 = 78.12

The range would be 0 to 78.12

Domain: 0 to 28

Range: 0 t0 78.12
