    Answer: (5,10) because you can't have a negative in people or in parts

    (5,10)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given that a factory's production is modeled by function f (x).

    Where f (x) = Number of parts produced per hour

    x=Number of people working during production

    We have to choose an ordered pair that represents a possible domain and range of the function.

    x is the number of people working during production. It is always positive because time can not be negative.

    f (x) is the number of parts produced per hour. It is always positive because quantity of any number cannot be negative. It is always positive.

    In first option (-1,15)

    x=-1, f (x) = 15

    x is negative which is not possible.

    So, it is false.

    In option b (5,-50)

    x=5, f (x) = -50

    Range is negative which is not possible.

    So, it is false.

    In option C (-10,-100)

    x=-10, f (x) = -100

    x and f (x) are both negative therefore, it is false.

    In option D (5,10)

    x=5, f (x) = 10

    x and f (x) are both positive.

    So, it is possible ordered pair.

    Hence, ordered pair (5,10) in which 5 represent a possible domain and 10 represent the possible range.
