O B. 26.63 miles per gallon
4
O C.-10.02 miles per gallon"
O D. 22.38 miles per gallon
O Mark for review (Will be highlighted on the review page)

Answer 1

The Answer Will Be D

Explanation:
The fuel economy of a car is modeled by the function f(s) = -0.009s² +0.699s +12 where s represents the speed of the car, measured in miles per hour.We need to find the fuel economy of the car when it travels at an average of 20 miles an hour.f(20) = -0.009(20)² +0.699(20) +12f(20) = -0.009(400) +13.98f(20) = 9.6The fuel economy of the car when it travels at an average of 20 miles an hour is 9.6 miles per gallon.Therefore, the answer is option D. 22.38 miles per gallon.
