Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A person has a 120-CF tank of gas for a 6000 feet dive. The equation
Conceptused:
Zero of an equation is obtained by putting it equal to 0 and then solving it for independent variable x. Also set of all values of x is its domain and set of all values of y is its range.
Calculation:
Plug in
So, only zero of this equation is
Now x can take values the from 0 to 60 minutes. And accordingly the range as the set of all values of y will be from 0 to 120.
Conclusion:
Value x=60 means that in 60 minutes, tank will be completely empty, having no air in it. So, domain of this relation is
