A cup of hot coffee has been left to cool in a room with an ambient temperature of 21∘C.The relationship between the elapsed time, m, in minutes, since the coffee was left to cool, and the temperature of the coffee, T, measured in ∘C, is modeled by the following function.T(m)=21+74⋅10−0.03mWhat will the temperature of the coffee be after 10 minutes?Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest hundredth.∘C
Q. A cup of hot coffee has been left to cool in a room with an ambient temperature of 21∘C.The relationship between the elapsed time, m, in minutes, since the coffee was left to cool, and the temperature of the coffee, T, measured in ∘C, is modeled by the following function.T(m)=21+74⋅10−0.03mWhat will the temperature of the coffee be after 10 minutes?Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest hundredth.∘C
Identify Function and Value: Identify the given function and the value to be substituted.The function given is T(m)=21+74×10(−0.03m), where m is the elapsed time in minutes. We need to find the temperature of the coffee after 10 minutes.
Substitute Value into Function: Substitute the value of m into the function.We substitute m=10 into the function to find T(10).T(10)=21+74×10(−0.03×10)
Calculate Exponent: Calculate the exponent part of the function.Calculate 10(−0.03×10) which is 10(−0.3).10(−0.3)≈0.5011872336
Multiply with 74: Multiply the result of the exponent with 74. Multiply 74 by the result from the previous step. 74×0.5011872336≈37.0878608896
Add to Find T(10): Add 21 to the result from the previous step to find T(10).T(10)=21+37.0878608896T(10)≈58.0878608896
Round to Nearest Hundredth: Round the result to the nearest hundredth.Round 58.0878608896 to the nearest hundredth.T(10)≈58.09∘C
