A golfer hit a golf ball from a tee box that is 6 yards above the ground. The graph shows the height in yards of the golf ball above the ground as a quadratic function of `x`, the horizontal distance in yards of the golf ball from the tee box.
What is the domain of the function for this situation?
0 < x < 230
6 < y < 36
0 < y < 36
6 < x < 230

The domain of the function in this situation is 0 < x < 230. This is because x represents the horizontal distance of the golf ball from the tee box, which cannot be negative and also cannot exceed the maximum distance the golfer can hit the ball.
