An airplane begins its decent toward the airport, modeled by the function
A(t)=29500−500t , where t is in minutes and A(t) is in feet.

What is the domain of the function within the context?

Respuesta :

Using function concepts, it is found that the domain in this context is [tex]0 \leq t \leq 59[/tex].

  • The domain of a function is the set that contains all possible input values.

In this problem, the height of the airplane after t seconds is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = 29500 - 500t[/tex]

This function is only valid for non-negative values of t, that is, [tex]t \geq 0[/tex], and for non-negative altitudes, that is:

[tex]A(t) \geq 0[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]29500 - 500t \geq 0[/tex]

[tex]-500t \geq -29500[/tex]

[tex]500t \leq 29500[/tex]

[tex]5t \leq 295[/tex]

[tex]t \leq \frac{295}{5}[/tex]

[tex]t \leq 59[/tex]

Thus, the domain for the function in this context is: [tex]0 \leq t \leq 59[/tex].
