Solve the Problem $\mathrm { U } = \mathrm { T } + \left( \mathrm { U } _ { \mathrm { O } } - \mathrm { T } \right) \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { kt } }$

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A thermometer reading 11°C is brought into a room with a constant temperature of 30°C. If the thermometer reads 17°C after 4 minutes, what will it read after being in the room for 7 minutes? Assume the cooling follows
Newton's Law of Cooling: $\mathrm { U } = \mathrm { T } + \left( \mathrm { U } _ { \mathrm { O } } - \mathrm { T } \right) \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { kt } }$ (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

A) 28.67°C
B) 5.87°C
C) 20.22°C
