Exercise 17

Avg difficulty 2.5

The wind chill, as frequently reported, is a measure of how cold it feels outside when the wind is blowing. In Table, the wind chill w=w(v,T)w=w(v,T), measured in degrees Fahrenheit, is a function of the wind speed vv, measured in miles per hour, and the ambient air temperature TT, also measured in degrees Fahrenheit. Approximate the average wind chill on the rectangle [5,35]×[−20,20][5,35] \times [-20,20] using 3 subintervals in the vv direction, 4 subintervals in the TT direction, and the point in the lower left corner in each subrectangle.
