The speed intervals such that the mileage of the vehicle described is 20 miles per gallon or less are: v ∈ [10 mi/h, 20 mi/h] ∪ [50 mi/h, 75 mi/h]
How to determine the range of speed associate to desired gas mileages
In this question we have a quadratic function of the gas mileage (g), in miles per gallon, in terms of the vehicle speed (v), in miles per hour. Based on the information given in the statement we must solve for v the following quadratic function:
g = 10 + 0.7 · v - 0.01 · v² (1)
An effective approach consists in using a graphing tool, in which a horizontal line (g = 20) is applied on the maximum desired mileage such that we can determine the speed intervals. The speed intervals such that the mileage of the vehicle is 20 miles per gallon or less are: v ∈ [10 mi/h, 20 mi/h] ∪ [50 mi/h, 75 mi/h].
