For each game, the amount of money that the Duke Blue Devils’ athletic program brings in as revenue is a function of the number of people in attendance. If each ticket costs $45.50, find the domain and range of this function.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The domain of a function is the set of values that satisfies the independent variable while the range of the function is the set of values that satisfies the dependent variable.

Since for each game, the amount of money that the Duke Blue Devils’ athletic program brings in as revenue is a function of the number of people in attendance, then the dependent variable is the amount of money while the independent variable is the number of people. The domain is between 0 and 9460 people. Therefore, the domain of this function is

0 ≤ x ≤ 9460

Where x represents number of people.

For the range, the lowest total sales is 0 × 45.5 = $0

The highest total sales is

9460 × 45.5 = $430430

The range is

0 ≤ y ≤ 430430

Where y represents total sales
