Annabel wants to make banana bread for the bake sale. She went to the market to buy bananas, and she noticed fruit flies after she returned home with her produce. The number of fruit flies grows at an exponential rate modeled by the equation f(t)=8(2)t , where f is the number of fruit flies after t days. Define an appropriate domain for the problem if Annabel bakes the banana bread 5 days after returning from the market.(1 point) Responses 0≤t≤5 0 less than or equal to t less than or equal to 5 0≤f≤256 0 less than or equal to f less than or equal to 256 0≤f≤5 0 less than or equal to f less than or equal to 5 0≤t≤256

To define an appropriate domain for the problem, we need to focus on the variable \( t \), which represents the number of days since Annabel returned home with her bananas. Since she bakes the banana bread 5 days after her return, the relevant time frame starts at \( t = 0 \) (the day she returned) and goes up to \( t = 5 \) (the day she bakes).
So, the appropriate domain for \( t \) is:
0 ≤ t ≤ 5
This means the correct response is:
0 ≤ t ≤ 5
