Q. The price value, V V , of a car that is t t years old is given by V=J(t)=170003100t V=J(t)=17000-3100 t . Find the domain and range of f(t) f(t) .
  1. Identify Domain: Identify the domain of the function V=J(t)=170003100tV=J(t)=17000-3100t. Since tt represents the age of the car in years, tt must be a non-negative number. Therefore, the domain is all non-negative real numbers, or t0t \geq 0.
  2. Find Upper Limit: Determine when the car value becomes zero or negative to find the upper limit of the domain.\newlineSet V=0V=0 and solve for tt:\newline0=170003100t0 = 17000 - 3100t,\newline3100t=170003100t = 17000,\newlinet=170003100t = \frac{17000}{3100},\newlinet=5.48t = 5.48.\newlineSince a car can't be partially a year old in this context, we consider tt up to 55 years.
