Cost of Fuel A truck has a top speed of \(75 \,{\rm mi}/{\rm h}\), and when traveling at the rate of \(x \,{\rm mi}/{\rm h}\), it consumes fuel at the rate of \(\dfrac{1}{200}\!\left( \dfrac{{2500}}{x} +x\right)\) gallon per mile.

A Record Golf Stroke The fastest golf ball speed ever recorded, \(91.1\, {\rm m}/{\rm s}\) (\(204 \,{\rm mi}/{\rm h}!)\), was a ball hit by Jason Zuback in 2007. When a ball is hit at an angle \(\theta\) to the horizontal, \(0^{\circ} \leq\,{\theta}\,\leq 90^{\circ}\), and lands at the same level from which it was hit, the horizontal range \(R\) of the ball is given by \(R=\dfrac{2v_{0}^{2}}{g} \sin \theta \cos \theta\) , where \(v_{0}\) is the initial speed of the ball and \(g = 9.8 \,{\rm m}/{\rm s}^{2}\) is the acceleration due to gravity.
