Explanation
Correct answer: 3331.
For engine speeds between revolutions per minute (rpm) and rpm, it’s given that the equation defines the linear function and gives the predicted power, in brake horsepower , at an engine speed of rpm, where is a constant. It’s also given that the car's predicted power is bhp at an engine speed of rpm. Substituting for and for in the equation yields . Subtracting from both sides of this equation yields . Multiplying both sides of this equation by yields . Adding to both sides of this equation yields . Thus, the value of is .
