Question
(d) What is the meaning of the function W = f(-15, v)? Describe the behavior of this function.
The function W = f(-15, v) means that we fix T at
and allow v to vary, resulting in a function of one
variable. In other words, the function gives wind-chill index values for different wind speeds when the temperature is
°C. From the table (look at the row corresponding to T = -15), the function ---Select--- and
appears to approach a constant value as v increases.
(e) What is the meaning of the function W = f(T, 80)? Describe the behavior of this function.
The function W = f(T, 80) means that we fix v at
and allow T to vary, again giving a function of one
variable. In other words, the function gives wind-chill index values for different temperatures when the wind speed is
km/h. From the table (look at the column corresponding to v = 80), the function ---Select--- ✓ almost
linearly as T increases.

In this example we considered the function W = f(T, v), where W is the wind-chill index, T is the actual temperature, and v is the wind
speed. A numerical representation is given in this table.
(a) What is the value of f(-20, 40)? What is its meaning?
f(-20, 40) =
, which means that if the temperature is -20°C and the wind speed is 40 km/h, then
the air would feel equivalent to approximately
°C without wind.
(b) Describe in words the meaning of the question "For what value of v is f(-10, v) = -15?"

Step 1

Solution:

Wind-chill index = W = f(T,v) = 13.12 + 0.6215T - 11.37(v0.16) + 0.3965T(v0.16) ,

T - Temperature in degree Celsius

v - Wind velocity in kilometers per hour
