Given:

Total cost P(x) as a function of the number of tickets, x is


P(x)=x+8

To find:

The domain for visiting and riding rides at Paul’s Pumpkin Patch.

Solution:

Domain is the set of input values.

Here, domain is x and it represents the number of tickets.

We know that, number of tickets cannot be negative or decimal or fraction vales. So, x must be non-negative and integer value.

Domain = x ≥ 0, x is an integer

Therefore, the correct option is D.
