A casserole is removed from a 375oF oven and cools to 190oF after 25 minutes in a room at 68oF. How long (from the time it is a removed from the oven) will it take the casserole to cool to 105oF

57.3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the temperature as a function of time of an object is described by the equation:

Where:

k is a constant

Tₐ =  room temperature = 68°F

T₀ =  initial temperature of the object = 375°F

Replacing these in our equation we will get

T(t) = 68°F + (375°F - 68°F)*e^{-k*t} = 68°F + (307°F)*e^{-k*t}

And we know that after 25 minutes, at t = 25min, the temperature of the casserole is 190°F

then:

T(25min) = 190°F = 68°F + (307°F)*e^{-k*25 min}

Now we can solve this for k:

190°F = 68°F + (307°F)*e^{-k*25 min}

190°F - 68°F = (307°F)*e^{-k*25 min}

(122°F)/(307°F) = e^{-k*25 min}

Now we can apply the natural logarithm in both sides:

Ln( 122/307) = Ln(e^{-k*25 min}) = -k*25min

Ln( 122/307)/(-25 min) = k = 0.0369 min^-1

Then the temperature equation is:

T(t) = 68°F + (307°F)*e^{-0.0369 min^-1*t}

Now we want to find the value of t such that:

T(t) = 105°F = 68°F + (307°F)*e^{-0.0369 min^-1*t}

We can solve this in the same way:

105°F - 68°F =  (307°F)*e^{-0.0369 min^-1*t}

37°F =  (307°F)*e^{-0.0369 min^-1*t}

(37°F)/(307°F) = e^{-0.0369 min^-1*t}

Ln( 37/307) = -0.0369 min^-1*t

Ln( 37/307)/( -0.0369 min^-1 ) = 57.3 min

So after 57.3 minutes, the temperature of the casserrole will be 105°F

there is only one way to arrange all the eight relative to each other because they are not distinct. we have

now there are nine places to place an (and not more than one in one place).   because we have four symbols, we need to choose four of these nine places to insert an . order does not matter because the are not distinct.

thus there are 1 · c(9,4) ways, or, if we calculate it,

thus there are 126 ways to form such "words."
