1. **State the problem:** We have a function $L(T)$ representing the pages left to read after $T$ hours, where the book has 150 pages and Ray reads at 25 pages per hour.
2. **Formula:** The pages left to read after $T$ hours is given by
$$L = 150 - 25T$$
This is because every hour, 25 pages are read, so the pages left decrease by 25 each hour.
3. **Domain:** The domain is the set of possible values for $T$ (time in hours). Since Ray cannot read negative time and cannot read beyond finishing the book, $T$ ranges from 0 to when $L=0$:
Set $L=0$:
$$0 = 150 - 25T$$
$$25T = 150$$
$$T = \frac{150}{25} = 6$$
So the domain is:
$$0 \leq T \leq 6$$
4. **Range:** The range is the set of possible values for $L$ (pages left). At $T=0$, $L=150$ pages, and at $T=6$, $L=0$ pages. So the range is:
$$0 \leq L \leq 150$$
5. **Summary:**
- Domain: $0 \leq T \leq 6$
- Range: $0 \leq L \leq 150$
This means Ray reads from time 0 to 6 hours, and pages left decrease from 150 to 0 accordingly.
