Question

D(b) is a function that models the population of deer based on the number of bobcats in an area. What is an appropriate domain for this function?

A) D = {all integers}
B) D = (all real numbers}
C) D = {rational numbers}
D) D = {all whole numbers}

Answer 1

Option D: all whole numbers, given that the number of bocats cannot be either iirrational or a fraction or a negative number. Only a whole number.

Answer 2

Option: D is the correct answer.

D) D = {all whole numbers}

Explanation:

As we could see that the number of deer i.e. the population of the deer is based on the number of bobcats in an area.

As the number of bobcats can't be negative or in a fraction or negative it will always be in a whole number (i.e. 0 represents that there are no bobcats, 1,2,.....)

Hence, the correct domain for the function is:

D) D = {all whole numbers}
