Today, Madelyn is running a 10-mile race and using her watch to help with pacing. She will run at a steady pace of 9 minutes per mile, and so she expects to finish the race in 90 minutes. The function D(m) represents the distance Madelyn has left to run, in miles, after m minutes.What is the domain of D(m)?Choices:(A)all real numbers from 0 to 10(B)all whole numbers from 0 to 90(C)all whole numbers from 0 to 10(D)all real numbers from 0 to 90
Q. Today, Madelyn is running a 10-mile race and using her watch to help with pacing. She will run at a steady pace of 9 minutes per mile, and so she expects to finish the race in 90 minutes. The function D(m) represents the distance Madelyn has left to run, in miles, after m minutes.What is the domain of D(m)?Choices:(A)all real numbers from 0 to 10(B)all whole numbers from 0 to 90(C)all whole numbers from 0 to 10(D)all real numbers from 0 to 90
Define Domain: Madelyn is running a 10-mile race at a steady pace of 9 minutes per mile. The function D(m) represents the distance she has left to run after m minutes. To find the domain, we need to determine the set of all possible values for m, which is the time in minutes.
Calculate Expected Finish Time: Since Madelyn runs at a pace of 9 minutes per mile and the race is 10 miles long, she expects to finish the race in 90 minutes. Therefore, the minimum time m can be is 0 minutes (at the start of the race), and the maximum time m can be is 90 minutes (at the end of the race).
Determine Domain Range: The domain of D(m) is the set of all real numbers from 0 to 90 because time can be measured in fractions of a minute, and Madelyn can be at any point in the race between the start and finish. Therefore, the domain includes all real numbers between 0 and 90, inclusive.
