This exercise uses Newton's Law of Cooling. A hot bowl of soup is served at a dinner party. It starts to cool according to Newton's Law of Cooling so that its temperature at time t is given by T(t) = 62 + 142e−0.05t where t is measured in minutes and T is measured in °F. (a) What is the initial temperature of the soup?  °F (b) What is the temperature after 10 min? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)  °F (c) After how long will the temperature be 100°F? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Question

This exercise uses Newton's Law of Cooling.

A hot bowl of soup is served at a dinner party. It starts to cool according to Newton's Law of Cooling so that its temperature at time t is given by
T(t) = 62 + 142e−0.05t
where t is measured in minutes and T is measured in °F.

(a) What is the initial temperature of the soup?
 °F

(b) What is the temperature after 10 min? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
 °F

(c) After how long will the temperature be 100°F? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
