Please help me to solve this problem

A college has a financial aid formula that applies to applicants whose family's income
is below a certain threshold. The financial aid can be determined by the function
f(z) = 15000 + 2000zr, where z is the number of siblings (including half siblings
and step siblings) that the applicant has living in their household. Find and interpret
the given function values and determine an appropriate domain for the function.
S(-2) = 11000 , meaning a qualifying applicant with
2 siblings in their
household would
get
$ 11000 in finaincial aid. This interpretation
makes sense
in the context of the problem.
f(4)
= 23000 , meaning a qualifying applicant with
4 siblings in their
household would get s 23000 in finaincial aid. This interpretation
makes sense
in the context of the problem.
