Answer 1

The context is best represented by 1 an arithmetic sequence and the domain is 2 discrete.

Explanation:

• Mya's time in each subsequent race decreases by a constant amount (10 seconds), which characterizes an arithmetic sequence.
• The number of races she competes in is countable (1st race, 2nd race, etc.), making the domain discrete rather than continuous.
