Question
The wave heights \(h\) in the open sea depend on the speed \(v\) of the wind and the length of time t that the wind has been blowing at that speed. Values of the function \(h = f(v, t)\) are recorded in feet in table 4.
(a) What is the value of \(f (40, 15)\)? What is its meaning?
(b) What is the meaning of the function \(h = f (30, t)\)? Describe the behavior of this function.
(c) What is the meaning of the function \(h = f (v, 30)\)? Describe the behavior of this function

Solution
The first step in solving 14.1 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The wave heights \(h\) in the open sea depend on the speed \(v\) of the wind and the length of time t that the wind has been blowing at that speed. Values of the function \(h = f(v, t)\) are recorded in feet in table 4.(a) What is the value of \(f (40, 15)\)? What is its meaning?(b) What is the meaning of the function \(h = f (30, t)\)? Describe the behavior of this function.(c) What is the meaning of the function \(h = f (v, 30)\)? Describe the behavior of this function.
From the textbook chapter Functions of Several Variables you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
