Question

A hard-boiled egg is removed from a pot of hot water and set on the table to cool. The rate of change of the egg’s temperature T with respect to time t is proportional to the difference between the egg’s temperature in degrees Fahrenheit ( °F) and the room temperature of 75°F. Which of the following is a differential equation that describes this relationship, where k is a constant?

Answer 1

Answer:

dT/dt = k(T-75)

Step-by-step explanation:

dT/dt = the rate of change of the egg's temperature T with respect to time t

k = constant

(T-75) = difference between the egg's temperature and the room temperature 75 degree
