Exercises 11–17 involve the notion of windchill temperature— see Example 7 in § 2.1, and refer to the table of windchill values on page 85

In this problem you will compare graphically the two windchill formulas given in Exercises 15 and 16.

(a) If W1(s, t) denotes the windchill function given by the Siple formula in Exercise 15 and W2(s, t) the windchill function given by the National Weather Service formula in Exercise 16, graph the curves y = W1(s, 40) and y = W2(s, 40) on the same set of axes. (Let s vary between 3 and 120 mph.) In addition, graph other pairs of curves y = W1(s, t0), y = W2(s, t0) for other values of t0. Discuss what your results tell you about the two windchill formulas.

(b) Now graph pairs of curves y = W1(s0, t), y = W2(s0, t) for various constant values s0 for wind-speed. Discuss your results.

(c) Finally, graph the surfaces z = W1(s, t) and z = W2(s, t) and comment.
