Joey did an experiment in which he measured the temperature(T) of a cup of hot chocolate, in degrees celcius, with respect to time(t), in minutes. He found that the function T=33(0.28)^t/26 +24 described the relationship. What was the room temperature of the room in which it was placed to cool?
\n" ); document.write( "I think it is 24 degrees celcius, does anyone know this one ?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find T(0) to get the starting temperature
\n" ); document.write( "find T(some very large number) to get the temperature after
\n" ); document.write( "the cup has cooled a very large time.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "As t get's larger and larger (0.28)^t gets closer and closer to
\n" ); document.write( "zero.
\n" ); document.write( "So as t get's larger and larger T get's closer and closer to 24.
