Answer:
- k ≈ 0.060
- T(4) ≈ 178 °F
Step-by-step explanation:
The desired formula parameters for Newton's Law of Cooling can be found from the given data. Then the completed formula can be used to find the temperature at the specified time.
__
<h3>Given:</h3>
k
T(4)
<h3>Solution:</h3>Filling in the given numbers, we have ...
185 = 68 +(208 -68)e^(-k·3)
117/140 = e^(-3k) . . . . . subtract 68, divide by 140
ln(117/140) = -3k . . . . . . take natural logarithms
k = ln(117/140)/-3 ≈ 0.060
__
The temperature after 4 minutes is about ...
T(4) = 68 +140e^(-0.060·4) ≈ 68 +140·0.787186
T(4) ≈ 178.205
After 4 minutes, the final temperature is about 178 °F.
