Question
The apparent temperature A in degrees F is related to the actual temperature x and the humidity 100h% by the equation

A= 2.7+0.l9x-79h+1.2hx degrees F

write a related rates equation for the equation above using th time t as the independent variable


Answer
As you can see in the link below, the apparent temperature is a surface (2D function), which it's variables are x&h. to transform
this 2D surface into 1D curve we need to make parameterize of x
& h as a function of t. Let's suppose (as shown in the table in the
link below) that x & h varies Linearly in time such as :
x(t)=2t & h(t)=5t.
The related rates equation is the derivative of A with respect to t.
A'(t)=-394.62+24t (chick it!)
