A bakery owner sells cookies by the dozen. He can bake 2 dozen cookies every hour. The graph shows the linear relationship between y, the number of dozens of cookies baked, and x, the number of hours. The baker will bake cookies for a total of 8 hours. Which set best represents the range of the function for this situation?
The set that best represents the range of the function for this situation is {0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24}.
Explanation:
- The baker can bake 2 dozen cookies every hour, so for 8 hours he will bake 8 * 2 = 16 dozen cookies.
- The range of the function represents the possible values for the number of dozens of cookies baked.
- The baker can bake between 0 and 24 dozen cookies (0 to 8 hours * 2 dozen per hour), with intervals of 2 dozen cookies.
