Question 33

The temperature of water in a kettle is modelled using the equation T=75e−kt+25T = 75e^{-kt} + 25T=75e−kt+25

a.

Explain what the 25 represents in the equation T=75e−kt+25T = 75e^{-kt} + 25T=75e−kt+25

[1]
b.

When the kettle is turned off the rate of decrease of the water temperature is 20∘C20^{\circ}\text{C}20∘C per minute. Find the value of kkk
