Question 568531: You have 8 bags of grass seed. Each bag covers 1200 ft squared of ground. The function A(b)= 1200b represents the are A(b), in square feet, that b bags cover. What domain and range are reasonable for the function? Explain.

Domain: Set of all nonnegative integers (ie integers that are not negative)

Range: The set {0, 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, ...}

The reason why negative numbers are excluded is because negative bag counts or negative area doesn't make much sense. Integers are stressed here because you cannot buy half a bag (you must buy whole bags)

The range is simply the set of all multiples of 1200
