Question

A soda can is placed inside a cooler. As the soda cools, the temperature T(x) in degrees Celsius is given by the following function, where X is the number of minutes since the Cannes was placed in the cooler.

T(x) = -2 +20e^-0.034x

find the initial temperature of the soda and its temperature after 15 minutes. Round your answer to the nearest degree as necessary

Initial Temperature: Degrees Celsius

Temperature after 15 minutes: Degrees Celsius

Answer 1

To get the initial temperature, plug x=0 into the given equation for T(x) and evaluate. To get the temperature after 15 minutes, plug x=15 into the equation and evaluate. You have the equation for T(x), so just plug in the numbers and finish from here.
