Pre-Calc Question

Question

Milk is poured into a glass when it is 35ºF, and it warms to 39ºF in a room that is 75ºF in 10 minutes. What is the temperature after 30 min? 60 min? How long before the milk warms to 65ºF?

Answer 1

Hi Rolls,

It's an exponential decay of temperature. Set up an exponential decay equation, solve for the rate constant, and then plug in the various times.

You are the 4th person, at least, with this problem set series tonight. You might consider collaborating with your peers? (Alyssa, Brooke,...)
