Problem
Wind chill is a measure of how cold people feel when exposed to wind outside. A good estimate for wind chill can be found using this calculation
where temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit
and the wind speed is measured in miles per hour (mph). Suppose the air temperature is
and the wind speed is
mph. Which of the following is closest to the approximate wind chill?
Solution
By substitution, we have
~apex304, SohumUttamchandani, wuwang2002, TaeKim, Cxrupptedpat, MRENTHUSIASM
Solution 2: Estimation
is very close to
- therefore, we can substitute
into the equation to get
, which is
. As
is slightly less than
, the correct answer is slightly less than
. Therefore, the answer is
.
