Q:Describe the values for x that may not be appropriate values even when they are defined of your classmatesÂ’ function. A function could, for example, indicate the amount of bone strength (y) in a living human body over time in years (x). It would not make sense to look at negative years, because the person would not yet be born. Likewise, looking beyond 100 years might not make sense, as many people do not live to be 100.
A real life situation that could be modeled by a function would be when the domain is
a set of numbers (children's ages) and the correspondance is that the numbers be squared and added
to 3. This would produced another set of numbers where each number on the domain
corresponds with a different number on the range ( projecting age) which is the result after the correspondance.
