An orchard needs to produce 5,000 oranges. Thefollowing function represents the average number oforanges that x number of trees must produce to meetthe goal. f(x) = 5000/xExpress the Range of this function in mathematical terms and in Reasonable terms.

The orchard needs to produce 5000 oranges, and the function they provide that represents the average number of oranges that x number of trees must provide is:

[tex]f(x)=\frac{5000}{x}[/tex]

So the Range (that is the set of y values that represent this relationship) is mathematically the set of Real numbers with y different from zero. But in reality, the average number of oranges should be a whole number, not a real number. So the closest to the Range description will be given by :

Mathematically, the set of y different from zero (0) in the Real number system (W) and Reasonable: the set of y larger (>) than zero (0) in the whole number system (W)

Because you want a whole number of oranges (not half or quarter of an orange) produced by each tree, and also a non-zero production of oranges per tree.
