Q. The Juniper Street Theater offers a special movie matinee showing every Sunday morning. The theater, which has a maximum capacity of 200200 people, sells matinee tickets for $5\$5 each. The function P(t)P(t) represents the theater's revenue, in dollars, for selling tt tickets.\newlineWhat is the domain of P(t)P(t)?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) all real numbers from 00 to 200200\newline(B) all whole numbers\newline(C) all real numbers\newline(D) all whole numbers from 00 to 200200
  1. Define domain of function: The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (independent variable) which allows the function to work within the context of the problem. In this case, the independent variable is the number of tickets sold, represented by tt.
  2. Determine maximum capacity: The theater has a maximum capacity of 200200 people, which means the theater cannot sell more than 200200 tickets for the matinee showing. Therefore, the maximum value for tt is 200200.
  3. Identify minimum number of tickets: Since the theater cannot sell a fraction of a ticket, the minimum number of tickets that can be sold is 00, and tt must be a whole number. Therefore, the minimum value for tt is 00.
  4. Establish domain of \newlineP(t)P(t): The domain of \newlineP(t)P(t) is all the whole numbers from the minimum number of tickets that can be sold (\newline00) to the maximum number of tickets that can be sold (\newline200200), inclusive. This means the domain of \newlineP(t)P(t) is all whole numbers from \newline00 to \newline200200.
