A student borrowed $480 from a friend. He agreed to make monthly payments of $96 with no interest until the loan balance was paid off. The function shown models this situation, where f(x) represents the remaining loan balance in dollars after the student has made x monthly payments. Which statements are true about the domain and range of the function for this situation? Select the correct answers.

• D: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

• R: {0, 96, 192, 288, 384, 480}

• D: all real numbers

• R: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

• : {0, 96, 192, 288, 384, 480}

• D: {0, 96, 192, 288, 384, 480}

• R: all real numbers

Answer explanation

Domain - x values

Range - y values
