livia eats a chicken drumstick with 11 grams of protein. she also eats x cheese sticks, each with 7 grams of protein. the table shows y, the total number of grams of protein that livia will consume if she eats x cheese sticks. livia may eat only part of a cheese stick, so x may not always be a whole number. what is the range of the function? all real numbers all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 all real numbers greater than or equal to 11 all integers greater than or equal to 11
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Find the function formula
The initial protein from chicken drum - stick is 11 grams and each cheese stick has 7 grams of protein. So the function is $y = 7x+11$, where $x\geq0$ and $x\in R$.
Step2: Analyze the range
Since $x\geq0$ and $y = 7x + 11$, when $x = 0$, $y=11$. As $x$ increases (and $x$ is a non - negative real number), $y$ also increases. So the range of the function $y$ is all real numbers greater than or equal to 11.
Answer:
all real numbers greater than or equal to 11
