Exercise 9 Page 128

Is length changing only by specific amounts?

Continuous.

Practice makes perfect
Before we look at the given table, let's recall the definitions of discrete and continuous.
  • Discrete Domain: A set of input values that consist of only certain numbers in an interval.
  • Continuous Domain: A set of input values that consist of all possible numbers in an interval.

Here, the input is the depth of the sea. This is a measure of length. Since the length is a continuous quantity, the domain is continuous.
