In cold weather, we feel colder when the wind blows. This is quantified by the wind chill index W, which is supposed to predict how cold we will feel for a given air temperature T, in degrees Fahrenheit, and wind speed V, in miles/hour. The National Weather Service uses the following formula:
W=35.74+0.6215T−35.75V^0.16+0.4275TV^0.16,
for T≤50 and V≥3.
What is the wind chill index when the air temperature is 25 degrees and the wind speed is 18 miles/hour?Answer:
Calculate the partial derivatives WT and WV when T=25 and V=18.WT= WV=
Use your answer above to do the following question: When the air temperature is 25 degrees, estimate the change in the wind chill index if the wind speed increases by 2 miles/hour from 18 miles/hour.Answer:
Suppose that the value (in $) of a car is described by V(t)=16,200(0.97)t, where t is the number of years since it was purchased. What is V(0) and what is its interpretation. What will be the value after three years. give answer in dollars and cents. when will the value reach $10,000. give exact and approximate answer.
