23. Example 4 Use Extrema for Optimization FUEL ECONOMY Advertisements for a new car claim that a tank of gas will take a driver and three passengers about 360 miles. After researching on the Internet, you find the function for miles per tank of gas for the car is f (x) =  0.025x 2 + 3.5x + 240, where x is the speed in miles per hour. What speed optimizes the distance the car can travel on a tank of gas? How far will the car travel at that optimum speed?

24. Example 4 Use Extrema for Optimization We want to maximize the distance a car can travel on a tank of gas. Graph the function f (x) = –0.025x 2 + 3.5x + 240 using a graphing calculator. Then use the maximum selection from the CALC menu to approximate the x-value that will produce the greatest value for f (x).

25. Example 4 Answer:The optimal speed is about 70 miles per hour. The car will travel 362.5 miles when traveling at the optimum speed. Use Extrema for Optimization The graph has a maximum of 362.5 for x ≈ 70. So the speed that optimizes the distance the car can travel on a tank of gas is 70 miles per hour. The distance the car travels at that speed is 362.5 miles.
