Question 886776: A can of soda at 83° F. is placed in a refrigerator that maintains a constant temperature of 35°
F. After t minutes, the temperature T of the soda is given by T(t) = 35 + 48e^
– 0.058 t
Find the temperature of the soda 15 minutes after it is placed in the refrigerator. (Round to the
nearest tenth of a degree.)

A can of soda at 83° F. is placed in a refrigerator that maintains a constant temperature of 35°
F. After t minutes, the temperature T of the soda is given by
T(t) = 35 + 48e^0.058 t
---------------------------
Find the temperature of the soda 15 minutes after it is placed in the refrigerator. (Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.)
-------------------
T(15) = 35 + 48*e^(0.058*15)
----
T(15) = 35 + 48*2.3869
T(15) = 35 + 114.57
-------
Note:: That answer is nonsense. The termperature should
be lower than 83 degrees after being the fridge for 15 minutes.
Please check your problem statement.
