Answer:


Domain: [0,17]


Range:[0,544]

Explanation:

Given


d(x) = 32x

Maximum gallon = 17

Required

Determine the domain and range --- This completes the question

If the maximum is 17 (i.e. at full capacity) then the minimum is 0 (i.e. when empty)

So, the domain is:


Domain: [0,17]

To calculate the range, substitute 0 and 17 for x in
d(x) = 32x


d(0) = 32 * 0 = 0


d(17) = 32 * 17 = 544

So, the range is:


Range:[0,544]
