Answer

$\text{Domain}=\{w|0\leq w\leq 10\}$ $\text{Range}=\{M|0\leq M\leq 300\}$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function modeling the number of minutes on the card after $w$ weeks: $$M(w)=-30w+300.$$ The domain of the function represents the number of weeks in which you still have minutes on the card, so its low limit is $0$ and its top limit is obtained by solving the equation $$M(w)=0$$ Solve the equation: $$\begin{align*} -30w+300&=0\\ 30w&=300\\ w&=10. \end{align*}$$ So the domain is: $$\text{Domain}=\{w|0\leq w\leq 10\}.$$ The range of the function is the number of minutes, which is initially $300$ and decreases until it reaches $0$: $$\text{Range}=\{M|0\leq M\leq 300\}.$$ Graph the function:
