- The height h of a projectile is a function of the time t it is in die air. The height in feet for t seconds is given by the function h(t)=-16t2+96t . What is the domain of die function? What does the domain mean in the context of die problem?arrow_forwardDigital cameras A company that produces and sells digital cameras has determined that the total weekly cost C of producing x digital cameras is given by the function C(x)=1.5x2150x+4850. Determine the production level that minimizes the weekly cost for producing the digital cameras and find that weekly minimum cost.arrow_forwardUse your schools library, the Internet, or some other reference source to find real-life applications of approximations of functions.arrow_forward
