Math Problem Statement
The inverse notation
fSuperscript negative 1−1
used in a pure mathematics problem is not always used when finding inverses of applied problems. Rather, the inverse of a function such as
Cequals=C(q)
will be
qequals=q(C).
The following problem illustrates this idea.
In a certain country, the following function represents the income tax T (in dollars) due for a person whose adjusted gross income is g dollars, where

Part 1
(a) What is the domain of the function T?
Solution
The problem provides the income tax function , which is defined for a specific range of adjusted gross income .
(a) Domain of the Function :
The domain of a function refers to all possible input values (in this case, the values of ) for which the function is defined.
Here, the function is defined for:
Conclusion:
- Domain: The domain of the function is the closed interval .
