I put a cup of hot coffee in my room. The temperature T at time t ( in hours) is
T=60+40e-2t
a) How warm is the Coffee right now?
b)What will the temperature be in 2 hours?
c) How long does it take the coffee to cool to 50 degrees?
Solution
a)
 T=60+40*e^-2t
 put t= 0
 T = 60+40*e(-2*0)
 = 60 + 40*1
 = 100 degree
b)
 T=60+40*e^-2t
 put t= 2
 T = 60+40*e(-2*2)
 = 60 + 40*0.0183
 = 60.73 degree
c)
 T=60+40*e^-2t
 put T = 50
 50 = 60+40*e(-2*t)
 - 10 = 40*e(-2*t)
 -0.25 = e(-2*t)
 It is not possible
It will never cool to 50 degree
