Answer 1

The function \( C(x) = 30x \) calculates the cost of the field trip based on the number of students \( x \). Since \( x \) represents the number of students, it must be a non-negative integer (you cannot have a fraction of a student or a negative number of students).

Let's evaluate the given options:

1. 4.5 - This is not a valid input because you cannot have a fraction of a student.
2. 45 - This is a valid input (45 students).
3. 14 34 - This appears to be two separate numbers, and neither is a valid input since it should only represent a number of students.
4. 22 - This is a valid input (22 students).
5. 15 - This is a valid input (15 students).

Thus, the valid inputs (domain) for the function \( C(x) = 30x \) are:

• 45
• 22
• 15
