i can do it, but not with the method you want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as a matter of fact we can do this in two minutes one really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean? its calculus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know what it is it is really very easy and very basic the temperature decays (decrease) to the ambient temp, which means the difference in the temperatures goes to zero proportionally work only with the differences in termpratures ' initial difference in temp is \[75-38=37\] after 30 minutes the difference is \[60-38=22\] do it decreases by a factor of \(\frac{22}{38}\) every 30 minutes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops i meant \[\frac{22}{37}\] to find the new temp in another 30 minutes compute \[22\times \frac{22}{37}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhh.. i don think my teacher wants it this way haha im dealing with dT/dt=k(T-38) and then integrating it but thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get 13.08 add that to 38 and get 51 approx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah cant do it that way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then how about this it is going to be \[T=T_0e^{kt}\] and we need to solve for \(k\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the way it is usually done, especially in pre - calc you get the same answer, just more work
