Question
An automobile tire manufacturer collected the data in the table relating tire pressure x (in pounds per square inch) and mileage (in thousands of miles). A mathematical model for the data is given by
f(x)=−0.554x2+35.5x−514.
Answer parts (A) through (D) below. |
|
(A) Complete the table below.
x | Mileage | f(x) |
28 | 45 | |
30 | 51 | |
32 | 56 | |
34 | 50 | |
36 | 46 |
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
A.
Data points are plotted at (43,30), (45,36), (47,41), (49,35), and (51,31). A parabola opens downward and passes through the points (43,30.7), (45,37.4), (47,39.7), (49,37.6), and (51,31). All points are approximate.
(C) Use the modeling function f(x) to estimate the mileage for a tire pressure of
29
lbs/sq in. and for
35
lbs/sq in.The mileage for the tire pressure
29
lbs/sq in. is
The mileage for the tire pressure
35
lbs/sq in. is
.(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
(D) Write a brief description of the relationship between tire pressure and mileage.
As tire pressure increases, mileage decreases to a minimum at a certain tire pressure, then begins to increase.
As tire pressure increases, mileage decreases.
As tire pressure increases, mileage increases to a maximum at a certain tire pressure, then begins to decrease.
As tire pressure increases, mileage increases.
