7 The temperature of a mug of coffee at time t can be modelled by the equation


1
−
T ( t ) = TR + ( 90 − TR ) e
t
20 , where T(t ) is the temperature, in °C, of the coffee at
time t minutes after the coffee was poured into the mug and TR is the room
temperature in °C.

coffee is independent of the initial room temperature. (2 marks)
b Calculate the temperature of the coffee after 10 minutes if the room temperature
is 20 °C. (2 marks)
