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.
x Mileage
28 45
30 51
32 56
34 50
36 46
​(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 coordinate system has a horizontal x-axis labeled from 20 to 60 in increments of 2 and a vertical y-axis labeled from 20 to 60 in increments of 2. Data points are plotted at (28,45), (30,51), (32,56), (34,50), and (36,46). A parabola opens downward and passes through the points (28,45.7), (30,52.4), (32,54.7), (34,52.6), and (36,46.0). All points are approximate.

A coordinate system has a horizontal x-axis labeled from 20 to 60 in increments of 2 and a vertical y-axis labeled from 20 to 60 in increments of 2.
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.
 
 
A.
As tire pressure​ increases, mileage decreases to a minimum at a certain tire​ pressure, then begins to increase.
 
B.
As tire pressure​ increases, mileage decreases.
 
C.
As tire pressure​ increases, mileage increases to a maximum at a certain tire​ pressure, then begins to decrease.
 
D.
As tire pressure​ increases, mileage increases.
