According to Newton’s Law of Cooling, the difference between the temperature of an object and its surroundings decreases in time exponentially. Suppose a certain cup of coffee is 95oC and it is in a room that is 20oC. The cooling for this particular cup can be modeled by the equation y = 75(0.875)t where y is the temperature difference (from the room) and t is the time in minutes.

*Find the temperature of the coffee after 15 minutes.

The equation A = ,where A is the final amount,

P is the initial (principal) amount, r is the annual interest

rate, n is the number of times interest is paid/compounded

per year, and t is the number of time periods, is used for

modeling compound interest.
