- A bottle of soda with a temperature of 71 Fahrenheit was taken off a shelf and placed ina refrigerator with an internal temperature of 35 .After ten minutes, the internal temperature of thesoda was 63F . Use Newton’s Law of cooling towrite a formula that models this situation. To thenearest degree, what will the temperature of thesoda be after one hour?arrow_forwardMedical Drugs When a certain medical drug is administered to a patient, the number of milligrams remaining in the patients bloodstream after t hours is modeled by D(t)=50e0.2t How many milligrams of the drug remain in the patients bloodstream after 3 hours?arrow_forwardUse a calculator to help solve each problem.

- Air Temperature As dry air moves upward, it expand and, in so doing, cools at a rate of about 1°C for each 100-meter rise, up to about 12 km. (a) If the ground temperature is 20°C, write a formula for the temperature at height h. (b) What range of temperatures can be expected if an air plane lakes off and reaches a maximum height of 5 km?arrow_forwardLIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Growth of a Population The rate of growth of a microbe population is given by m(t)=27te3t Where t is time in days.
