Question 81826: If I had the equation, 60.6=58e^-k(1), how would I solve it using Newton's Law of Cooling? I am clueless when it comes to Newton's Law of Cooling, so could you please explain that to me as well. Thank you in advance.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 60.6=58e^-k(1), how would I solve it using Newton's Law of Cooling?
-----------------
There is only one variable, k, so that is what you are solving for.
1.044828 = e^(-k)
Take the natural log of both sides to get;
-k = 0.043852
k= 0.043852
----------------------
As for Newton's Law of Cooling, I suggest you use Google
to find a readable explanation.
