A biologist investigates the growth of a special flower. It is estimated that the height (in cm) of the flower is given by f(t) = at² + bt + C, where t is
the number of days passed since the start of the investigation. It is given
that the height of the flower first increases and then decreases.
What is the domain of f(t)?

The domain of this function is:

Domain f(t): t ≥ 0

or

Domain f(t): {x ∈ R | t ≥ 0}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function of the height (in cm) of the flower

f(t) = at² + bt + C

Here,

Given that height of the flower first increases and then decreases.

The current function represents the quadratic function because it is of the form. Hence, the graph would be a curve.

f(x) = ax²+ bx + c

where a, b and c are the real numbers and a≠0

Normally the domain of quadratic is the set of all real numbers, but here in this case x-values consist of the time in terms of the number of days.

As the time in terms of a number of days can not be negative. Therefore, we conclude that:

The domain of this function is:

Domain f(t): t ≥ 0

or

Domain f(t): {x ∈ R | t ≥ 0}

the 2 figures are congruent bc if you reflect abcd over the y axis then over the d axis the figures overlap
