The domain of a function is the set of possible input value, the function can take.

The domain is [0,10]

The given parameters are:

[tex]Flat\ Fee = 15.25[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 3.45[/tex]

So, the function f(x) is:

[tex]f(x) = Flat\ Fee + Rate \times x[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 15.25 + 3.45 \times x[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 15.25 + 3.45x[/tex]

Because x represents the number of orders, the value of x cannot be negative.

The teacher budgets $49.75.

This means that: f(x) = 49.75

So, we have:

[tex]49.75 = 15.25 + 3.45x[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]49.75 - 15.25 = 3.45x[/tex]

[tex]34.5 = 3.45x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3.45

[tex]10 = x[/tex]

Rewrite as

[tex]x = 10[/tex]

Hence, the domain is [0,10]
