Problem 7 (Top - Graph of \( f(x) \))
Step 1: Recall Domain Definition
The domain of a function is the set of all possible \( x \)-values (input values) for which the function is defined. We analyze the graph's \( x \)-axis.
Step 2: Analyze the Graph's \( x \)-Intervals
- The graph starts at an open circle at \( x = 0 \) (so \( x>0 \)) and ends at a closed dot (so \( x\leq12 \)) (by observing the \( x \)-axis, the last point is around \( x = 12 \)). So the domain is \( 0 < x\leq12 \), which is option (3).
The range of a function is the set of all possible \( y \)-values (output values). The graph's \( y \)-axis (height) starts at 0 (when time is 0, height is 0) and goes up to a maximum around 12.5. Option A is wrong (starts at 5), B is wrong (range includes non - integers), C is wrong (max is higher than 8.5). So D is correct.
Step 1: Interpret \( H(0) \)
\( H(0) \) is the value of the function \( H \) when \( t = 0 \) (time is 0 seconds, at launch). From the graph, when \( t = 0 \), the height ( \( y \)-value) is 15 meters (by looking at the \( y \)-axis intercept).
Step 2: State the Representation
\( H(0)=15 \) meters. This value represents the height of the rocket at the moment it was launched ( \( t = 0 \) seconds).
