Danny's truck has a fuel tank with a capacity of 20 gallons of gas. The truck averages 17 miles per gallon of gas. The function M(g) = 17g represents the number of miles that Danny's truck travels on g gallons of gas. What domain and range are reasonable for the function? D: 0 ≤ g ≤ 340 R: 0 ≤ M(g) ≤ 20 D: 0 ≤ g ≤ 20 R: 17 ≤ M(g) ≤ 340 D: 17 ≤ g ≤ 20 R: 20 ≤ M(g) ≤ 340 D: 0 ≤ g ≤ 20 R: 0 ≤ M(g) ≤ 340 NextReset
Accepted Solution
A:
For this case we have the following function:
[tex] M (g) = 17g [/tex]
Where,
g: number of gallons of gas
M (g): number of miles that Danny's truck travels
We know that the maximum capacity is 20 gallons of gas.
Therefore, the maximum distance the truck can travel is given by:
[tex] M (20) = 17 (20) [/tex]
[tex] M (20) = 340 [/tex]
Thus, the domain of the function is:
[tex] 0 \leq g \leq 20 [/tex] The range of the function is:
[tex] 0 \leq M(g) \leq 340 [/tex]
Answer:
A domain and range that are reasonable for the function are:
D. D: 0 ≤ g ≤ 20
R: 0 ≤ M (g) ≤ 340
