Robert Conrad · Answer 1

The domain for f (t) is all of the numbers t for which f (t) is defined.

In other words, its all of the numbers that t minutes can be and still make sense in the function.

f (t) is distance from sea level as a function of time. It does not make sense to have negative time, so t must be 0 or a positive number. t does not necessarily have to be an integer (a whole number), since you can have time values like half a minute.

Answer is C. the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to zero
