.
:
(a) Find the temperature, to the nearest degree, of the coffee 20 minutes after it is placed in the room._________°F
T(t) = 60 + 115(.4317)
T(t) = 60 + 49.6
T(t) = 109.6 degrees after 20 min
:
(b) Determine when, to the nearest tenth of a minute, the temperature of the coffee will reach 145°F.______________min
using nat logs
-.042t*ln(e) = ln(.739)
ln(e) = 1, therefore
-.042t = -302
t =
t = +7.2 minutes it will be 145 degrees
