Given [tex]\( f(x) = 15x + 35 \)[/tex], what is the domain of [tex]\( f \)[/tex]?

A. [tex]\(-15 \leq x \leq 35\)[/tex]

B. [tex]\( x \ \textgreater \ 15 \)[/tex]

C. [tex]\( x \ \textgreater \ 35 \)[/tex]

D. all real numbers



Answer :

To determine the domain of the given function [tex]\( f(x) = 15x + 35 \)[/tex], we need to identify all possible values of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] that can be input into the function without causing any issues such as division by zero or taking the square root of a negative number.

Given that [tex]\( f(x) = 15x + 35 \)[/tex] is a linear function, let's examine its form:

1. The function [tex]\( f(x) = 15x + 35 \)[/tex] is a linear equation.
2. Linear equations of the form [tex]\( ax + b \)[/tex], where [tex]\( a \)[/tex] and [tex]\( b \)[/tex] are constants, do not have any restrictions on the values that [tex]\( x \)[/tex] can take. This is because linear functions are defined for all real numbers.

Therefore, the domain of the function [tex]\( f(x) = 15x + 35 \)[/tex] is all real numbers.

To summarize:
- Linear functions are continuous and defined for every possible input value.
- There are no values of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] that would make the expression [tex]\( 15x + 35 \)[/tex] undefined.

Hence, the domain of [tex]\( f(x) = 15x + 35 \)[/tex] is all real numbers.

The correct choice is:
[tex]\[ \text{all real numbers} \][/tex]
