Question 1014848: You are putting cans of food into boxes for a food drive. One box holds 30 cans of food. Write a linear function using function notation that represents the number of cans of food that will fit in x boxes. Is the domain discrete or continuous?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
As indicated, let x = number of boxes.
Since each box could contain 30 cans, in total for x boxes there should be 30x cans of food.
Thus f(x) = 30x is the desired linear function.
The domain is discrete, as the number of boxes could take on only positive integer values.
