A bakery owner sells cookies by the dozen. He can bake 3 dozen cookies every hour. The graph shows the linear relationship between y, the number of dozens of cookies baked, and x, the number of hours. The baker will bake cookies for a total of 8 hours. Which set best represents the domain of the function for this situation?
The graph shows that the bakery owner can bake 3 dozen cookies every hour. Since the baker will bake cookies for a total of 8 hours, the domain of the function for this situation would be x = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.
Therefore, the best set that represents the domain of the function for this situation is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.
are you sure??
I apologize for the mistake. Let me correct it:
Since the bakery owner can bake 3 dozen cookies every hour, the number of dozens of cookies baked, y, is directly proportional to the number of hours, x. In this case, since the bakery owner will bake cookies for a total of 8 hours, the domain of the function should be x = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.
Therefore, the correct set that represents the domain of the function for this situation is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
