Problem
A cup of boiling water () is placed to cool in a room whose temperature remains constant at
. Suppose the difference between the water temperature and the room temperature is halved every
minutes. What is the water temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, after
minutes?
Solution
Initially, the difference between the water temperature and the room temperature is degrees Fahrenheit.
After minutes, the difference between the temperatures is
degrees Fahrenheit.
After minutes, the difference between the temperatures is
degrees Fahrenheit.
After minutes, the difference between the temperatures is
degrees Fahrenheit. At this point, the water temperature is
degrees Fahrenheit.
Remark
Alternatively, we can condense the solution above into the following equation:
