Question 114

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-Newton's law of cooling indicates that the temperature of a warm object will decrease exponentially with time and will approach the temperature of the surrounding air. The temperature T(t) T ( t ) is modeled by T(t) =Ta+(T0Ta) ektT ( t ) = T _ { a } + \left( T _ { 0 } - T _ { a } \right) e ^ { - k t } . In this model, TaT _ { a } represents the temperature of the surrounding air, T0T _ { 0 } represents the initial temperature of the object and tt is the time after the object starts cooling. The value of kk is the cooling rate and is a constant related to the physical properties of the object.
A cake comes out of the oven at 335F335 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F } and is placed on a cooling rack in a 70F70 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F } kitchen. After checking the temperature several minutes later, it is determined that the cooling rate kk is 0.0500.050 . Write a function that models the temperature T(t) T ( t ) (in F{ } ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F } ) of the cake tt minutes after being removed from the oven.


A) T(t) =335+70e0.050tT ( t ) = 335 + 70 e ^ { 0.050 t }
B) T(t) =70+265e0.050tT ( t ) = 70 + 265 e ^ { 0.050 t }
C) T(t) =70+265e0.050tT ( t ) = 70 + 265 e ^ { - 0.050 t }
D) T(t) =70+335e0.050tT ( t ) = 70 + 335 e ^ { 0.050 t }
