Question

Pauley graphs the change in temperature of a glass of hot tea over time. He sees that the function appears to decrease quickly at first, then decrease more slowly as time passes. Which best describes this function?

Answer 1

As the liquid gets closer to the same temperature as the room, it cools down slower. If you put an glass of hot cocoa in a really cold room, it'll decrease really fast until it's around the same temperature as the room
