The <em>speed</em> 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]
<h3>How to determine the range of speed associate to desired gas mileages</h3>In this question we have a <em>quadratic</em> function of the <em>gas</em> mileage (g), in miles per gallon, in terms of the <em>vehicle</em> speed (v), in miles per hour. Based on the information given in the statement we must solve for v the following <em>quadratic</em> function:
g = 10 + 0.7 · v - 0.01 · v² (1)
An effective approach consists in using a <em>graphing</em> tool, in which a <em>horizontal</em> line (g = 20) is applied on the <em>maximum desired</em> mileage such that we can determine the <em>speed</em> intervals. The <em>speed</em> 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].

A good place to start is to set to y. That would mean we are looking for
to be an integer. Clearly,
, because if y were greater the part under the radical would be a negative, making the radical an imaginary number, not an integer. Also note that since
is a radical, it only outputs values from
, which means y is on the closed interval:
.
With that, we don't really have to consider y anymore, since we know the interval that is on.
Now, we don't even have to find the x values. Note that only 11 perfect squares lie on the interval , which means there are at most 11 numbers that x can be which make the radical an integer. All of the perfect squares are easily constructed. We can say that if k is an arbitrary integer between 0 and 11 then:
Which is strictly positive so we know for sure that all 11 numbers on the closed interval will yield a valid x that makes the radical an integer.
