Question 15

The temperature of water in a kettle is modelled using the equation T=80e−kt+20T = 80e^{-kt} + 20T=80e−kt+20

a.

Explain what the 20 represents in the equation T=80e−kt+20T = 80e^{-kt} + 20T=80e−kt+20

[1]
b.

When the kettle is turned off the rate of decrease of the water temperature is 16∘C16^{\circ}\text{C}16∘C per minute. Find the value of kkk

[3]
c.
