Question

a car manufacturer claims that their car can get 32 miles per gallon minus the speed factor. thus caj be modeled by linear equatioj f (×) =33 -015x where f(×) represents the miles per gallon and x is the mph . what would be the predicted miles per gallon for a car going 60 mph using this equation?

Answer 1

f(x) = 24 miles per gallon

Explanation:

car manufacturer claims that their car can get 33 miles per gallon minus the speed factor

f (×) =33 -0.15x

For a car going 60 mph

f (×) =33 -0.15x

X=60 mph

f (×) =33 -0.15x

f(x) = 33-0.15(60)

f(x) = 33-9

f(x) = 24 miles per gallon
