hii can you explain each step of this? @Michele_Laino was explaining it, but was doing the completely wrong thing haha

OpenStudy (danjs):

ill try. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@freckles please explain

OpenStudy (danjs):

explain what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the problem...........

OpenStudy (danjs):

i don't see any problems here. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops it didnt go through, i refreshed my page and it wasnt there haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah the thing is lagging like crazy today

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay good so its not just me hahah

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah, i remember the cooling law from differential equations class..

OpenStudy (danjs):

need to integrate to get the function of temperature

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[\frac{ dT }{ dt } = k(T-T _{e})\] \[\frac{ 1 }{ T - T _{e} }dT = k*dt\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

Integrating both sides of that gives... Te is the 38 degrees by the way

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[\ln(T-T _{e}) = k*t + C\] \[T - T _{e} = C*e ^{k*t}\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[T(t) = T _{e} + C*e ^{k*t}\] There is the function for Temperature at time t, with the initial temp of Te

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what lol

OpenStudy (danjs):

For this prob Te = 38 It is the same thingyou have in your integration, just solved for T(t)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind, can you go to the one i tagged you in, i already got that haha

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[T(t) = 38 + C*e ^{kt}\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

well there is the function for this prob, you need to use the other data points in the problem T(0), and so on, to find the values for C and k.

OpenStudy (danjs):

Lol i busted out an old HW for doing this
