Reasonable Domain and Range

The document provides examples of writing functions to describe real-world situations and finding reasonable domains and ranges for those functions. The examples include Joe buying DVDs with money to buy at most 3, water temperature dropping in a refrigerator, hours rented for a car, the growth of an American Sycamore tree, money earned working hours at a rate, the growth of a person from birth, the distance covered by a marathon runner running at a rate, and chocolate chips used in cookies. For each example, a rule is written in function notation and a reasonable domain and range are identified based on the constraints of the situation.

Reasonable Domain and

Range Example
Joe buys DVDs at $15 each. He has enough
money to buy at most 3 DVDs.
Write a function to describe the situation. Find a
reasonable domain and range of the function.
Money spent is $15.00 for each DVD.
f(x) = $15.00 • x

If Joe buys x DVDs, he will spend f(x) = 15x dollars.

Joe only has enough money to purchase 0, 1, 2,


or 3 DVDs. A reasonable domain is {0, 1, 2, 3}.
Substitute the domain values into the function
rule to find the range values.

x 1 2 3
f(x) 15(1) = 15 15(2) = 30 15(3) = 45

A reasonable range for this situation is


{$0, $15, $30, $45}.
Reasonable Domain and
Range Example (Continuous)
Bill puts his glass of water into the refrigerator. The
water’s temperature starts at 76oF, but drops 2 degrees
every minute until it reaches the refrigerator’s
temperature of 36oF.

Write a function to describe the situation. Find a


reasonable domain and range of the function.

After x minutes, the temperature will be


t(x) = 76 – 2x degrees Fahrenheit.
The temperature needs to drop 40 degrees, so it will take
20 minutes. The temperature is dropping continuously, so
write the domain and range using inequalities.
Reasonable domain: 0 < x < 20

Reasonable range: 36 < y < 76
