Answer 1

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

In this scenario, Mya's race times form an arithmetic sequence where each term decreases by a constant amount (10 seconds) from her initial time. Since the races she competes in can be counted as distinct events, the domain of the function is discrete.
