A welder drops a piece of red-hot steel on the floor. The initial temperature of the steel is 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The ambi

ent temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit. After 2 minutes the temperature of the steel is 1,500 degrees. The function f(t)=Ce(−kt)+80 represents the situation, where t is time in minutes, C is a constant, and k is a constant.
After 2 minutes the temperature of the steel is 1,500 degrees. After how many minutes will the temperature of the steel be 100 degrees and therefore safe to pick up with bare hands?

Answer: After 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial temperature = 2500

At t = 0,

we get that

f(t)=Ce^{-kt}+80\\\\2500=C+80\\\\2500-80=C\\\\2420=C

After 2 minutes, the temperature of the steel is 1500 degrees.

so, it becomes,

1500=2420e^{-2k}+80\\\\1500-80=2420e^{-2k}\\\\\dfrac{1420}{2420}=e^{-2k}\\\\0.587=e^{-2k}\\\\\ln 0.587=-2k\\\\-0.533=-2k\\\\k=\dfrac{0.533}{2}\\\\k=0.266

So, We need to find the number of minutes when the temperature of steel would be 100 degrees.

So, it becomes,

100=2420e^{-0.266t}+80\\\\100-80=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\20=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\\dfrac{20}{2420}=e^{-0.266t}\\\\\ln \dfrac{20}{2420}=-0.266t\\\\-4.8=-0.266t\\\\t=\dfrac{4.8}{0.266}\\\\t=18.05

Hence, after 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.
