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.

Question

Responses:

0≤t≤5

0≤f≤256

0≤t≤256

0≤f≤5

Answer 1

In this problem, we're looking at the number of fruit flies, \( f(t) = 8(2)^t \), after \( t \) days. Since Annabel bakes the banana bread 5 days after returning from the market, the appropriate domain for \( t \) is from 0 to 5 days.

Thus, the correct response indicating the appropriate domain for the problem is:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.
