Question 1006202:  A can of soda at 82°F is placed in a refrigerator that maintains a constant temperature of 39°F. The temperature T of the soda t minutes after it is placed in the refrigerator is given by
 
T(t) = 39 + 43e^−0.058t.
 
(a) Find the temperature, to the nearest degree, of the soda 10 minutes after it is placed in the refrigerator.  
=°F
 
(b) When, to the nearest minute, will the temperature of the soda be 43°F?  
=min 
 Answer by Boreal(15235)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! T(t) = 39 + 43e^−0.058t.  
after 10 minutes 
39+43*(e^-0.58) 
63 degrees. 
========== 
43=39+43 e^(-0.058) 
(4/43)=e^(-0.058)t 
ln of both sides and lx e^x=x 
-2.375=-0.058t 
t=41 minutes
