Provide a short answer.Consider the linear function f(x) = 5x + 20. What is the domain and range of this function? Now, suppose the function represents the relationship between studying time and grades on an exam. The variable x represents the number of hours spent studying and f(x) represents the grade on the exam. Does this change the domain and range? If so, what is the new domain and range and why is it different?

What will be an ideal response?


The domain is all real numbers and the range is the set of all real numbers. In the context of exam grades, the domain and range both become the set of nonegative real numbers. In this context, times and grades less than zero do not make sense.
