iii. Comment on the restricted domain and range of this function.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=$25+$0.07x
f(375)=$25+$(0.7*375)=$51.25
domain is restricted to x being >0 (0, oo)
range is positive and greater than $25, the base cost regardless of the mileage, so long as it is >0. (25, oo)
