Question 1206972: An experiment examined the relationship between the number of milles a car traveled, y , per gallon of gasolline and the speed of the car, x , In miles per hour. The table displays the data collected. Car Mileage Experiment Speed, x (miles per hour) Miles per Gallon, y 20 24.9 30 28.3 35 29.1 40 30.1 50 30.0 60 29.1 Speed, x (miles per hour) Miles per Gallon, y 20 24.9 30 28.3 35 29.1 40 30.1 50 30.0 60 29.1 A quadratic function can be used to model the data in the table. Which value best estimates the miles per gallon when the speed is 65 miles per hour? (ब) 27.9 (B) 31.0 (C) 40.2 (D) 24.9

An experiment examined the relationship between the number of milles a car traveled, y , per gallon of gasolline
and the speed of the car, x , In miles per hour. The table displays the data collected.
Car Mileage Experiment Speed, x (miles per hour) Miles per Gallon, y 20 24.9 30 28.3 35 29.1 40 30.1 50 30.0 60 29.1

Dear maestro,

in your table, two lines of data is the same line doubled, together with the names of these lines.

It is a  TRAGIC  MISTAKE  on your side,  which kills your problem to the death in the form presented.
