Newton's law of Cooling states that the change in temperature is directly proportional to the difference between the object's temperature and its surroundings. \begin{equation*} \frac{dT}{dt} = k(T(t)-T_{\text{room}})\end{equation*}Using the substitution \(\displaystyle y(t)=T(t)-62\) and calculating the derivative gives \(\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{dT}{dt}\). Calculating the new initial condition using the point \(\displaystyle (3, 157)\) and the substition gives \(\displaystyle y(0) = T(0)-62 = 118\). The point \(\displaystyle (3, 157)\) must also be transformed to get \(\displaystyle y(3) = T(3)-62 = 157 - 62 = 95\). Substituting both of these into the equation gives the new equaiton \(\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt}=ky\) which has the solution \(\displaystyle y(t) = y(0)e^{kt}=118e^{kt}\). Evaluating the function at the point gives \(\displaystyle 95=118e^{3k}\) and isolating the exponential gives \(\displaystyle \frac{95}{118}=e^{3k}\). Solving for \(\displaystyle k\) gives \(\displaystyle k=\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{95}{118} \right)}}{3}\). Substuting \(\displaystyle k\) back into the equation gives \(\displaystyle y(t) = 118e^{\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{95}{118} \right)}}{3}t}\) and simplifying gives \(\displaystyle y(t) = 118 \left(\frac{95}{118}\right)^{\frac{t}{3}}\). Substituting out \(\displaystyle y(t)\) gives \begin{equation*}T(t)-62 = 118 \left(\frac{95}{118}\right)^{\frac{t}{3}} \implies\, T(t)= 118 \left(\frac{95}{118}\right)^{\frac{t}{3}} + 62 \end{equation*}Using \(\displaystyle T\) gives the equation \(\displaystyle 141=118 \left(\frac{95}{118}\right)^{\frac{t}{3}} + 62\). Isolating the exponential gives \(\displaystyle \frac{79}{118}=\left(\frac{95}{118}\right)^{\frac{t}{3}}\). Taking the natural logarithm of both sides and solving for \(\displaystyle t\) gives \(\displaystyle t = \frac{3 \ln{\left(\frac{79}{118} \right)}}{\ln{\left(\frac{95}{118} \right)}}\approx 5.6\) minutes.

\begin{question}A coffee with temperature $180^\circ$ is left in a room with temperature $62^\circ$. After 3 minutes the temperature of the coffee is $157^\circ$, how long until the coffee is $141^\circ$?
    \soln{9cm}{Newton's law of Cooling states that the change in temperature is directly proportional to the difference between the object's temperature and its surroundings. \begin{equation*} \frac{dT}{dt} = k(T(t)-T_{\text{room}})\end{equation*}Using the substitution $y(t)=T(t)-62$ and calculating the derivative gives $\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{dT}{dt}$. Calculating the new initial condition using the point $(3, 157)$ and the substition gives $y(0) = T(0)-62 = 118$. The point $(3, 157)$ must also be transformed to get $y(3) = T(3)-62 = 157 - 62 = 95$. Substituting both of these into the equation gives the new equaiton $\frac{dy}{dt}=ky$ which has the solution $y(t) = y(0)e^{kt}=118e^{kt}$. Evaluating the function at the point gives $95=118e^{3k}$ and isolating the exponential gives $\frac{95}{118}=e^{3k}$. Solving for $k$ gives $k=\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{95}{118} \right)}}{3}$.  Substuting $k$ back into the equation gives $y(t) = 118e^{\frac{\ln{\left(\frac{95}{118} \right)}}{3}t}$ and simplifying gives $y(t) = 118 \left(\frac{95}{118}\right)^{\frac{t}{3}}$. Substituting out $y(t)$ gives 
\begin{equation*}T(t)-62 = 118 \left(\frac{95}{118}\right)^{\frac{t}{3}} \implies\, T(t)= 118 \left(\frac{95}{118}\right)^{\frac{t}{3}} + 62 \end{equation*}Using $T$ gives the equation $141=118 \left(\frac{95}{118}\right)^{\frac{t}{3}} + 62$.  Isolating the exponential gives $\frac{79}{118}=\left(\frac{95}{118}\right)^{\frac{t}{3}}$. Taking the natural logarithm of both sides and solving for $t$ gives $t = \frac{3 \ln{\left(\frac{79}{118} \right)}}{\ln{\left(\frac{95}{118} \right)}}\approx 5.6$ minutes. }
