Answer:
a. The exponential model is [tex]T(t)=69+(111)e^{-0.1368357021t}[/tex]
b. It takes the cake 9.32 minutes to cool to the desired temperature
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve it by using the Newton's Law of cooling
[tex]T(t)=C+(T_{0}-C)e^{kt}[/tex] , where
- T(t) is the temperature at any given time
- C is the surrounding temperature
- [tex]T_{0}[/tex] is the initial temperature of the heated object
- k is a negative constant
- t is the time
∵ A cake recipe says to bake the cake until the center is 180 °F
∴ [tex]T_{0}[/tex] = 180 ⇒ initial temperature
∵ The room temperature is 69 °F
∴ C = 69 ⇒ surrounding temperature
- Use the table to substitute t and T to find the constant k
∵ At t = 5 minutes, T = 125 °F
∴ [tex]125=69+(180-69)e^{5k}[/tex]
- Subtract 69 from both sides
∴ [tex]56=(111)e^{5t}[/tex]
- Divide both sides by 111
∴ [tex]\frac{56}{111}=e^{5k}[/tex]
- Insert ㏑ for both sides
∴ [tex]ln(\frac{56}{111})=5k[/tex]
- Divide both sides by 5
∴ - 0.1368357021 = k
∴ [tex]T(t)=69+(111)e^{-0.1368357021t}[/tex]
a. The exponential model is [tex]T(t)=69+(111)e^{-0.1368357021t}[/tex]
∵ The cake cool to 100 °F
∴ The desired temperature is 100°
∴ T(t) = 100 ⇒ cake's temperature at t minute
- Use the model above to find t
∵ [tex]T(t)=69+(111)e^{-0.1368357021t}[/tex]
∴ [tex]100=69+(111)e^{-0.1368357021t}[/tex]
- Subtract 69 from both sides
∴ [tex]31=(111)e^{-0.1368357021t}[/tex]
- Divide both sides by 111
∴ [tex]\frac{31}{111} =e^{-0.1368357021t}[/tex]
- Insert ㏑ for both sides
∴ [tex]ln(\frac{31}{111})=-0.1368357021t[/tex]
- Divide both sides by - 0.136835702
∴ 9.321711938 = t
∴ t ≅ 9.32 minutes
b. It takes the cake 9.32 minutes to cool to the desired temperature
