If we put a cool object into a preheated oven, Newton's law of heating tells us that the difference between the tem perature of the oven and the tem perature of the object decreases exponentially with time. The percentage rate of decrease depends on the material that is being heated. Suppose a potato initially has a tem perature of 75 degrees and the oven is preheated to 375 degrees. Use the form ula D = 300 x 0.98t, where D is the tem perature difference between the oven and the potato, tis the time in minutes the potato has been in the oven, and all tem peratures are measured in degrees Fahrenheit. What is the tem perature difference after 45 minutes? (Round your answer to the nearest degree.)

Question
If we put a cool object into a preheated oven, Newton's law of heating tells us that the difference
between the tem perature of the oven and the temperature of the object decreases exponentially
with time. The percentage rate of decrease depends on the material that is being heated. Suppose a
potato initially has a tem perature of 75 degrees and the oven is preheated to 375 degrees. Use the
form ula
D = 300 x 0.98t,
where D is the tem perature difference between the oven and the potato, tis the time in minutes the
potato has been in the oven, and all tem peratures are measured in degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the tem perature difference after
45 minutes?
(Round your answer to the nearest degree.)
