Newton's Law of Cooling says that at time t,
T(t) = 75 + 110e^(-kt)
and so, if t is in minutes,
75 + 110 e^-60k = 146
k = 0.0073
so, now you can answer the questions, knowing that
T(t) = 75 + 110e^(-0.0073t)
T(t) = 75 + 110e^(-kt)
and so, if t is in minutes,
75 + 110 e^-60k = 146
k = 0.0073
so, now you can answer the questions, knowing that
T(t) = 75 + 110e^(-0.0073t)
