Complete question is;

Dionne Washington wants to sell natural fruit flavored water at her neighborhood block party. She wrote the amount of money she spent as a function of the number of bottles sold. Which set of numbers would be an appropriate domain for Dionne’s function?

A) 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …

B) …, −4, −3, −2, −1, 0

C) …, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …

D) …, −3.5, −2.5, −1.5, 0, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, …

Answer:

Option A: {0,1, 2, 3, 4,....}

Explanation:

Domain is simply a set of input while the range is a set of output values.

For example, if we have a function named f(x) = x², the domain will be all possible values of x being inputed while the range will be the value of f(x) for all possible values of x inputed.

Now, from the question, we are told that she wrote the amount of money she spent as a function of the number of bottles sold.

If the number of bottles sold is denoted by "x", it means the function is; f(x).

Now, number of bottles has to be a non-negative whole number or simply a non-negative integer. Thus, the possible values of x are all non-negative whole numbers like, 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5....

Thus,domain is {0,1, 2, 3, 4,....}
