A solid object is dropped into a pond with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. The function f(t) = Ce(-kt) + 20 represents the situation where t is time in minuetes, C is a constant and k = 0.0399. After 4 minutes the object has a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius. What was the initial temperature of the object

Given :

A solid object is dropped into a pond with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

The function f(t) = Ce(-kt) + 20 represents the situation where t is time in minutes, C is a constant and k = 0.0399.

To Find :

The initial temperature of the object.

Solution :

Putting t = 4 in given equation, we get :

Putting value of C in given equation, we get :

Now, for initial temperature is given at t=0 s .

Therefore, the initial temperature of the object is 37.60° C.

Hence, this is the required solution.
