Problema Solution

A bowl of soup at 195F, is placed in a room of constant temperature of 65F. The temperature T of the soup t minutes after it is placed in the room is given by T(t)=65+130e^- 0.075t

Find the temperature of the soup 6 minutes after it is placed in the room (round to the nearest degree)

Answer provided by our tutors

We assume that "e^- 0.075t" raises the enter expression "e^(- 0.075t)".  Since 't' is in seconds, T(t) provides:

64+130e^(-0.075(6))

146.89

So the temperature of the soup would be approximately 147 degrees.
