Question 1133181: When a person stubs their toe the amount of pain they feel t minutes after the
incident follows the equation S(t) = 3t + 1 / t^2.
(a) What is the domain of this function?
(b) Does the domain make practical sense, why or why not?

S%28t%29+=+%283t+%2B+1%29+%2F+t%5E2

(a) What is the domain of this function?
note: t is denominator; so,
domain is { t element R : t%3C%3E0 }
(b) Does the domain make practical sense, why or why not?
the domain does not make practical sense; t represents a time+after the incident follows, and since they feel the pain immediately (in no time) t=0 would make sense regarding pain
