Question 1195304: The temperature of a cup of cocoa t minutes after it is made is given by the function C(t) = (a + b)(0.95)^t, where a is the temperature of the room, in degrees Celsius, and a + b is the initial temperature of the cocoa. in degrees Celsius. If the cocoa is initially 80°C and the temperature of the room is 20°C, what will the temperature of the cocoa be 2 minutes later, rounded to the nearest degree Celsius?

Comment from student: 𝐶(0)=𝑎+𝑏=80°𝐶 𝑎=20°𝐶 𝑏=80°𝐶−20°𝐶 𝑏=60°𝐶 𝐶(𝑡)=20+60(0.95)^𝑡 𝐶(2)=20+60(0.95)^2 𝐶(2)=20+60[0.9025] 𝐶(2)=20+54.15 𝐶(2)=74.15°𝐶≈74°𝐶
My response : Hey, I do not need your solution, so you posted it to me to not purpose.
You better learn to write the formulas correctly . . .
