The gas mileage (in mph) for a certain vehicle can be approximated by m(x)=-0.031x2+2.619x-35.027, where x is the speed of the vehicle in miles per hour Determine the speed at which the car gets its maximum gas mileage. Round your answer to the nearest mph. I keep getting a negative answer which I know wouldn't make sense considering what they are asking for.
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
