A coffee with temperature \(\displaystyle 169^\circ\) is left in a room with temperature \(\displaystyle 72^\circ\). After 6 minutes the temperature of the coffee is \(\displaystyle 156^\circ\), what is the temperature of the coffee after 11 minutes?
Using \(\displaystyle T = T_0+(T_1-T_0)e^{kt}\) gives \(\displaystyle T = 72+(169-72)e^{kt}= 72+97e^{kt}\). Using the point \(\displaystyle (6, 156)\) gives \(\displaystyle 156= 72+97e^{k(6)}\). Isolating the exponential gives \(\displaystyle \frac{84}{97}=e^{6k}\). Solving for \(\displaystyle k\) gives \(\displaystyle k=\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{84}{97} \right)}}{6}\). Substuting \(\displaystyle k\) back into the equation gives \(\displaystyle T = 72+97e^{\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{84}{97} \right)}}{6}t}\) and simplifying gives \(\displaystyle T = 97 \left(\frac{84}{97}\right)^{\frac{t}{6}} + 72\). Using \(\displaystyle t = 11\) gives \(\displaystyle T =97 \left(\frac{84}{97}\right)^{\frac{11}{6}} + 72\approx 147^\circ\)
\begin{question}A coffee with temperature $169^\circ$ is left in a room with temperature $72^\circ$. After 6 minutes the temperature of the coffee is $156^\circ$, what is the temperature of the coffee after 11 minutes? \soln{9cm}{Using $T = T_0+(T_1-T_0)e^{kt}$ gives $T = 72+(169-72)e^{kt}= 72+97e^{kt}$. Using the point $(6, 156)$ gives $156= 72+97e^{k(6)}$. Isolating the exponential gives $\frac{84}{97}=e^{6k}$. Solving for $k$ gives $k=\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{84}{97} \right)}}{6}$. Substuting $k$ back into the equation gives $T = 72+97e^{\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{84}{97} \right)}}{6}t}$ and simplifying gives $T = 97 \left(\frac{84}{97}\right)^{\frac{t}{6}} + 72$.
