Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Relevant Domain

The function \( b(x) = 75 - 10x \) models the bagel inventory, where \( x \) is the number of hours after opening. The coffee shop starts with 75 bagels and sells 10 bagels per hour. The relevant domain for \( x \) is the time during which the shop has bagels to sell.

To find when the inventory reaches zero, set \( b(x) = 0 \):

\[ 75 - 10x = 0 \]

Solving for \( x \):

\[ 10x = 75 \\ x = 7.5 \]

Therefore, the relevant domain is \( 0 \leq x \leq 7.5 \).

Final Answer

D. \( 0 \leq x \leq 7.5 \)
