Cooling liquid temperature model: T(t)=80(12)t10+20T(t) = 80(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{10}} + 20. Sketch graph, find temp. after 40 mins, time to cool to 45 degrees.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The temperature of the liquid, (t)(t), is given by the function (t)=80(1)t10+20(t)=80\left(\frac{1}{}\right)^{\frac{t}{10}}+20. . The temperature is measured in degrees Celsius and time, tt, is measured in minutes.
3. The function models the cooling of the liquid over time.

STEP 2

To sketch a graph of the function, we need to understand the behavior of the function.This function is an exponential decay function, where the temperature starts at 80+20=10080 +20 =100 degrees Celsius and decreases over time, approaching a lower limit of 2020 degrees Celsius.

STEP 3

To sketch the graph, plot the function (t)=80(12)t10+20(t)=80\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{10}}+20 on a graph where the x-axis represents time (in minutes) and the y-axis represents temperature (in degrees Celsius).
The graph starts at (0,100)(0,100) and approaches the line y=20y =20 as tt goes to infinity.

STEP 4

To calculate the temperature after40 minutes, substitute t=40t =40 into the function (t)(t).
(40)=80(12)4010+20(40)=80\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{40}{10}}+20

STEP 5

implify the exponent in the equation.
(40)=80(12)4+20(40)=80\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{4}+20

STEP 6

Calculate the value of the expression.
(40)=80(116)+20(40)=80\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)+20

STEP 7

implify the equation to find the temperature after40 minutes.
(40)=5+20=25(40)=5+20=25So, the temperature after40 minutes is25 degrees Celsius.

STEP 8

To calculate the time taken for the liquid to cool to45 degrees Celsius, set (t)=45(t) =45 and solve for tt.
45=80(12)t10+2045=80\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{10}}+20

STEP 9

Subtract20 from both sides of the equation.
25=80(2)t25=80\left(\frac{}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{}}

STEP 10

Divide both sides of the equation by80.
2580=(2)t10\frac{25}{80}=\left(\frac{}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{10}}

STEP 11

Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation.
ln(2580)=t10ln()\ln\left(\frac{25}{80}\right)=\frac{t}{10}\ln\left(\frac{}{}\right)

STEP 12

olve for tt by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10ln(2)\frac{10}{\ln\left(\frac{}{2}\right)}.
t=10ln(2580)ln(2)t=\frac{10\ln\left(\frac{25}{80}\right)}{\ln\left(\frac{}{2}\right)}

STEP 13

Calculate the value of tt.
t16.609640474436812t\approx16.609640474436812So, it takes approximately16.61 minutes for the liquid to cool to45 degrees Celsius.
