A cup of coffee is heated to $180^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ and placed in a room that maintains a temperature of $65^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$. The temperature of the coffee after $t$ minutes is given by $T(t)=65+115 e^{-0.042 t}$ a. Find the temperature, to the nearest degree, of the coffee 10 minutes after it is placed in the room. b. Use a graphing utility to determine when, to the nearest tenth of a minute, the temperature of the coffee will reach $100^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$

A cup of coffee at 100 degrees Celsius is put into a 20-degree Celsius room when t=0. The coffee's temperature, f(t), is changing at a rate given by f'(t)=-6(0.9)^t degrees Celsius per minute, where t is in minutes. Estimate the coffee's temperature when t=10.

(a) A cup of coffee has temperature 95 $ ^\circ C $ and takes 30 minutes to cool to 61 $ ^\circ C $ in a room with temperature 20 $ ^\circ C $. Use Newton's Law of Cooling (section 3.8) to show that the temperature of the coffee after $ t $ minutes is $$ T(t) = 20 + 75 e^{-kt} $$ where $ k \approx 0.02 $. (b) What is the average temperature of the coffee during the first half hour?
