Answer

$w(x)=0.24x$

Work Step by Step

The weight $w(x)$ of $x$ feet of cable is the product between $x$ and the weight per foot: $$w(x)=0.24x$$ Since the weight of the cable is greater than $0$, the domain is $x\geq 0$: $$\text{Domain}=\{x|x\geq 0\}$$ The range consists of the values $0.24x$, so it is $y\geq 0$: $$\text{Range}=\{y|y\geq 0\}$$ As the graph is unbroken, the function is continuous.
