A coffee with temperature \(\displaystyle 178^\circ\) is left in a room with temperature \(\displaystyle 66^\circ\). After 8 minutes the temperature of the coffee is \(\displaystyle 153^\circ\), how long until the coffee is \(\displaystyle 133^\circ\)?
Using \(\displaystyle T = T_0+(T_1-T_0)e^{kt}\) gives \(\displaystyle T = 66+(178-66)e^{kt}= 66+112e^{kt}\). Using the point \(\displaystyle (8, 153)\) gives \(\displaystyle 153= 66+112e^{k(8)}\). Isolating the exponential gives \(\displaystyle \frac{87}{112}=e^{8k}\). Solving for \(\displaystyle k\) gives \(\displaystyle k=\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{87}{112} \right)}}{8}\). Substuting \(\displaystyle k\) back into the equation gives \(\displaystyle T = 66+112e^{\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{87}{112} \right)}}{8}t}\) and simplifying gives \(\displaystyle T = 112 \left(\frac{87}{112}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}} + 66\). Using \(\displaystyle T\) gives the equation \(\displaystyle 133=112 \left(\frac{87}{112}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}} + 66\). Isolating the exponential gives \(\displaystyle \frac{67}{112}=\left(\frac{87}{112}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}}\). Taking the natural logarithm of both sides and solving for \(\displaystyle t\) gives \(\displaystyle t = \frac{8 \ln{\left(\frac{67}{112} \right)}}{\ln{\left(\frac{87}{112} \right)}}\approx 16\) minutes.
\begin{question}A coffee with temperature $178^\circ$ is left in a room with temperature $66^\circ$. After 8 minutes the temperature of the coffee is $153^\circ$, how long until the coffee is $133^\circ$?
\soln{9cm}{Using $T = T_0+(T_1-T_0)e^{kt}$ gives $T = 66+(178-66)e^{kt}= 66+112e^{kt}$. Using the point $(8, 153)$ gives $153= 66+112e^{k(8)}$. Isolating the exponential gives $\frac{87}{112}=e^{8k}$. Solving for $k$ gives $k=\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{87}{112} \right)}}{8}$. Substuting $k$ back into the equation gives $T = 66+112e^{\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{87}{112} \right)}}{8}t}$ and simplifying gives $T = 112 \left(\frac{87}{112}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}} + 66$. Using $T$ gives the equation $133=112 \left(\frac{87}{112}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}} + 66$. Isolating the exponential gives $\frac{67}{112}=\left(\frac{87}{112}\right)^{\frac{t}{8}}$. Taking the natural logarithm of both sides and solving for $t$ gives $t = \frac{8 \ln{\left(\frac{67}{112} \right)}}{\ln{\left(\frac{87}{112} \right)}}\approx 16$ minutes. }
