Independent Quantity: Number of gallons of gas in the tank
Dependent Quantity: Distance traveled by the car
Reasonable Domain:
- Number of gallons of gas in the tank: 10 ≤ x ≤ 12 (as mentioned in the problem)
- Distance traveled by the car: 0 ≤ y ≤ 300 miles (since the car travels 25 miles per gallon, and there are at most 12 gallons in the tank)
Reasonable Range:
- Number of gallons of gas in the tank: 10 ≤ x ≤ 12
- Distance traveled by the car: 0 ≤ y ≤ 300 miles
Tara's car travels about 25 miles on one gallon of gas. She has between 10 and 12 gallons of gas in the tank. Identify the independent and dependent quantity in the situation. Find reasonable domain and range values.
