Question

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≤f≤5 0 less than or equal to f less than or equal to 5 0≤t≤5 0 less than or equal to t less than or equal to 5 0≤t≤256 0 less than or equal to t less than or equal to 256 0≤f≤256 0 less than or equal to f less than or equal to 256 Skip to navigation

Answer 1

In this scenario, we need to define the appropriate domain for the variable \( t \), which represents the number of days after Annabel returned from the market. Since she bakes the banana bread 5 days after her return, the time \( t \) will range from 0 days (when she returns home with the bananas) to 5 days (when she bakes the banana bread).

Therefore, the appropriate domain for \( t \) is:

\[ 0 \leq t \leq 5 \]

Thus, the correct response is 0 ≤ t ≤ 5.
