7. The daily cost of production in a video game factory is calculated using c(x) = 400 + 25x, where x is
the number of complete video games manufactured. Which set of numbers best defines the domain of c(x)?
(1) integers
(2)positive real numbers
(3) positive rational numbers
(4)whole numbers

Answer :

mhanifa

Answer:

  • (4) whole numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

  • c(x) = 400 + 25x
  • where x is the number of complete video games.

The complete video games can be expressed as positive integers or whole numbers, so the domain is whole numbers.

Correct choice is (4)

Answer:

Whole Number

Explanation:

Domain : The set of all the input values (i.e. the value of x ) in the function is called domain

The daily cost of production in a video game factory is calculated using c(x) = 400 + 25x

Cost expression : C(x) = 400 + 25x

Cost expression : C(x) = 400 + 25x

As x defines the number of complete video, since number of video cannot be negative.

1) Integers : integers are the numbers which can be positive, negative or zero, but cannot be a fraction

As, number of videos cannot be negative

so, x cannot be any integers

So, Integers is not the domain

2) Positive real numbers : Real numbers are the numbers which include both rational and irrational numbers.

As the x represent the complete number of video games, thus, x cannot be irrational

Hence, Positive real numbers is not the domain

3) Positive Rational Number : a number is expressed in the form of p/q then it is a rational number

The number of videos are in the complete number, so a fraction cannot be a complete number, thus, rational number cannot be a domain.

4) Whole Number : Whole numbers include natural numbers that begin from 1 onwards

As Numbers of videos are the complete number, and they are always positive, which is the defination of whole number, Domain is whole number
