Kim wants to buy a used car with good gas mileage. He knows that the miles per gallon, or mileage, vary

according to various factors, including the speed. He finds that highway mileage for the make and model he

wants can be approximated by the function f(s) 0.03s2 2.4s 30, where s is the speed in miles per hour. He

wants to graph this function to estimate possible gas mileages at various speeds.
