Transcribed Image Text:Q42)
(a) The temperature gauge of a car is giving an overheating warning and the car is stopped.
At time i minutes, the temperature Tof the liquid in the radiator decreases according to the
equation
dT
= -k(T – 35), where k is a positive constant. The initial temperature of the
dt
liquid in the radiator is 95°C and it cools to 70°C after 10 minutes.
đT
=-k(T – 35)
