The domain is the set of all whole numbers greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of nail polishes that Taylor purchases.

Therefore the amount spent by Taylor on nail polishes will be f (x) = 3.95/times x

since Taylor has only 30 dollars to spend on nail polishes.

f (x) / leq 30 dollars

therefore 3.95/times x / leq 30

x / leq 7.594

since x is an whole number x = 7

Therefore the domain is the set of all whole numbers greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 7.
