1. Aim:

A car manufacturer wants to optimize the fuel efficiency of their car by

adjusting the tire pressure. They have historical data on the fuel efficiency
of cars with different tire pressure and want to find the optimal tire pressure
that maximizes the fuel efficiency . You have been hired to develop a
python program that uses the secant method to find the optimal tire
pressure for the cars . The secant method is a numerical method used to
find the root of a function.

2. Source Code:

def fuel_efficiency(tire_pressure):
return -0.2 * tire_pressure**2 + 10 * tire_pressure - 100

def secant_method(func, x0, x1, tol=1e-6, max_iter=100):

for i in range(max_iter):
fx0 = func(x0)
fx1 = func(x1)
if abs(fx1) < tol:
return x1
x_next = x1 - (fx1 * (x1 - x0)) / (fx1 - fx0)
x0, x1 = x1, x_next

print("Max iterations reached. Solution may not be accurate.")

return x1

def main():

tire_pressure_data = [28, 30, 32, 34, 36]

fuel_efficiency_data = [45, 48, 50, 46, 42]

initial_guesses = [30, 32]

for guess in initial_guesses:
optimal_tire_pressure = secant_method(fuel_efficiency, guess - 1,
guess + 1)
optimal_fuel_efficiency = fuel_efficiency(optimal_tire_pressure)

print(f"Optimal tire pressure: {optimal_tire_pressure:.2f} psi")

print(f"Optimal fuel efficiency: {optimal_fuel_efficiency:.2f}
mpg\n")

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
