A coffee with temperature \(\displaystyle 168^\circ\) is left in a room with temperature \(\displaystyle 67^\circ\). After 6 minutes the temperature of the coffee is \(\displaystyle 163^\circ\), how long until the coffee is \(\displaystyle 144^\circ\)?
Using \(\displaystyle T = T_0+(T_1-T_0)e^{kt}\) gives \(\displaystyle T = 67+(168-67)e^{kt}= 67+101e^{kt}\). Using the point \(\displaystyle (6, 163)\) gives \(\displaystyle 163= 67+101e^{k(6)}\). Isolating the exponential gives \(\displaystyle \frac{96}{101}=e^{6k}\). Solving for \(\displaystyle k\) gives \(\displaystyle k=\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{96}{101} \right)}}{6}\). Substuting \(\displaystyle k\) back into the equation gives \(\displaystyle T = 67+101e^{\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{96}{101} \right)}}{6}t}\) and simplifying gives \(\displaystyle T = 101 \left(\frac{96}{101}\right)^{\frac{t}{6}} + 67\). Using \(\displaystyle T\) gives the equation \(\displaystyle 144=101 \left(\frac{96}{101}\right)^{\frac{t}{6}} + 67\). Isolating the exponential gives \(\displaystyle \frac{77}{101}=\left(\frac{96}{101}\right)^{\frac{t}{6}}\). Taking the natural logarithm of both sides and solving for \(\displaystyle t\) gives \(\displaystyle t = \frac{6 \ln{\left(\frac{77}{101} \right)}}{\ln{\left(\frac{96}{101} \right)}}\approx 32\) minutes.
\begin{question}A coffee with temperature $168^\circ$ is left in a room with temperature $67^\circ$. After 6 minutes the temperature of the coffee is $163^\circ$, how long until the coffee is $144^\circ$?
\soln{9cm}{Using $T = T_0+(T_1-T_0)e^{kt}$ gives $T = 67+(168-67)e^{kt}= 67+101e^{kt}$. Using the point $(6, 163)$ gives $163= 67+101e^{k(6)}$. Isolating the exponential gives $\frac{96}{101}=e^{6k}$. Solving for $k$ gives $k=\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{96}{101} \right)}}{6}$. Substuting $k$ back into the equation gives $T = 67+101e^{\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{96}{101} \right)}}{6}t}$ and simplifying gives $T = 101 \left(\frac{96}{101}\right)^{\frac{t}{6}} + 67$. Using $T$ gives the equation $144=101 \left(\frac{96}{101}\right)^{\frac{t}{6}} + 67$. Isolating the exponential gives $\frac{77}{101}=\left(\frac{96}{101}\right)^{\frac{t}{6}}$. Taking the natural logarithm of both sides and solving for $t$ gives $t = \frac{6 \ln{\left(\frac{77}{101} \right)}}{\ln{\left(\frac{96}{101} \right)}}\approx 32$ minutes. }
