a thermometer reading 70 F is taken outside. five minutes later the thermometer reads 40 F. thirty five minutes after being taken outside,the thermometer reading is within one half a degree of the outside temperature find the value of the outside temperature assuming it is constant

Question

lgbasallote · Answer

given

@t = 0
T = 70

@t = 5
T = 40

@t = 35
T = \(T_m) - 0.5?

lgbasallote · Answer

hmm maybe...

$$\Large \ln(\frac{40 - T_m}{60 - T_m}) = 4k$$

lgbasallote · Answer

what does "one half a degree of the outside temperature" mean??

mathslover · Answer

may be that it means 1/2 of the atmospheric temp

lgbasallote · Answer

i remember something like Tm - 0.5 and Tm + 0.5

i dont remember exactly
