The fuel economy (in miles per gallon) of a certain car is
E(x) = −0.01x2 + 0.54x +10.4,
where x is the driving speed (in miles per hour,
20 ≤ x ≤ 60).
At what speed is fuel economy greatest?
x = mph

A certain car has a fuel efficiency of 36.4 miles per gallon (mi/gal). Express this efficiency in kilometers per liter (km
ASAP The speed of your automobile has a huge effect on fuel consumption. Traveling at 65 miles per hour (mph) instead of 55 mph can consume almost 20% more fuel. As a general rule, for every mile per hour over 55, you lose 2% in fuel economy. For example, if your automobile gets 30 miles per gallon at 55 mph, the fuel consumption is 21 miles per gallon at 70 mph. If you take a 400-mile trip and your average...
For a certain automobile, M(x) = - 015x2 +1.25x - 7.6,30s xs 60, represents the miles per gallon obtained at a speed of x miles per hour, (a) Find the absolute maximum miles per gallon and the speed at which it occurs. (b) Find the absolute minimum miles per gallon and the speed at which it occurs. (a) The absolute maximum miles per gallon is This occurs at mph.

The corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standard for mileage is currently 26.5 miles per gallon of gasoline (the defender) for passenger cars. To conserve fuel and reduce air pollution, suppose the u.s Congress sets the CAFE standard at 35 miles per gallon(the challenger) in 2010. An auto will emit on average 0.8 pounds of carbon dioxide(c02) per mile driven at 26.5 miles per gallon, and will emit 0.65 pounds of CO2 per mile driven at 35 miles per gallon. A....
Your used Chevy's gas mileage (in miles per gallon (mpg) is given as a function M (x) of speed in miles per hour (mph), where M(1) - 2000 Calculate M' (40), M' (50) and M' (60) rounded to two decimal places M' (40) = mpg/mph M' (50) = mpg/mph M' (60) = mpg/mph
