The rate at which a body cools also depends on its exposed surface area S. If S is a constant, then a modification of (2), given
in Section 3.1, is dT dt = kS(T − Tm), where k < 0 and Tm is a constant. Suppose that two cups A and B are filled with coffee at the same time. Initially, the temperature of the coffee is 145° F. The exposed surface area of the coffee in cup B is twice the surface area of the coffee in cup A. After 30 min the temperature of the coffee in cup A is 95° F. If Tm = 65° F, then what is the temperature of the coffee in cup B after 30 min? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:
76.25°
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution to the differential equation is an exponential curve with a horizontal asymptote at Tm. It passes through (0, 145) and (30, 95), so the equation can be written as ...
T = 80 +65((95-65)/(145-65))^(t/30)
T = 80 +65(3/8)^(t/30)
That is, the temperature difference is reduced to 3/8 of its original value in 30 minutes.
Since the coffee in cup B cools twice as fast, it will cool to the same temperature (95°) in 15 minutes. In the next 15 minutes, the temperature difference will be reduced to (3/8)^2 of the original 80°, so will be 11.25°. That is, the temperature of cup B will be ...
11.25° +65° = 76.25°
after 30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following quadratic function
Use the distributive property to multiply the expression
For a function of the form the x coordinate of the vertex is:
Then in this case the coordinate of the vertex is:
To obtain the y coordinate of the vertex we evaluate the function at
Then the vertex is: (-3, -16)
We can see in the graph that the zeros of the function are x=1 and x=-7
Then the function is decreasing from -∞ to -3 and then it is increasing from -3 to ∞
The function is positive for and
