Based on data from Hurricane Katrina, the function defined by w(x)=−1.21x+1370 gives the wind speed w(x) (in mph) based on the barometric pressure x (in millibars, mb ). (a) Approximate the wind speed for a hurricane with a barometric pressure of 1100mb. (b) Write a function representing the inverse of w and interpret its meaning in context. (c) Approximate the barometric pressure for a hurricane with wind speed 110mph. Round to the nearest mb.
