Answer

The given statement makes sense.

Work Step by Step

The federal minimum wage was $\$5.15$ from 1997 to 2006. The set of years from 1997 to 2006 can be defined as the domain of the function that models the minimum wage. \[\left\{ 1997,1998,1999,2000,......2006 \right\}\] And, \[f\left( x \right)=5.15\] is the function that models the minimum wage, because every year the minimum wage was the same, that is, 5.15. Hence, the given statement makes sense.
