The function relates the speed of the wind, S, in miles per hour, near the centre of a tornado to the distance the tornado travels, d, in miles. Graph this function and use the graph to discuss how the rate in which the speed of the wind at the centre of a tornado changes as the distance that the tornado travels increases.
