def secant method(f, x0, x1, e, max_iter=1000):

if f(x0) * f(x1) >= 0:
print ("Secant method fails: Initial points do not bracket the root.")
return None
iteration = 0
while abs(x1 - x0) >= e and iteration < max_iter:
x_temp = x1 - (f(x1) * (x1 - x0)) / (f(x1) - f(x0))
x0, x1 = x1, x_temp
iteration += 1
if iteration == max_iter:
print("Secant method fails: Maximum iterations reached.")
return None
else:
return x1
from scipy.optimize import minimize_scalar
def fuel_efficiency(pressure):
return -0.5 * pressure + 40
result = minimize_scalar(lambda x: -fuel_efficiency(x), bounds=(5, 45), method='bounded')
if result.success:
optimal_pressure = result.x
max_fuel_efficiency = -result.fun
print(f"The optimal tire pressure that maximizes fuel efficiency is {optimal_pressure} psi.")
print(f"The maximum fuel efficiency achieved is {max_fuel_efficiency} mpg.")
else:
print("Unable to find optimal tire pressure. Adjust the initial interval or check the
function.")
