A bottle of white wine at room temperature (68°F) is placed in a refrigerator at 4 p.m. Its temperature after t hr is changing at the rate of −18−e−0.6t°F/hour. By how many degrees will the temperature of the wine have dropped by 7 p.m.? What will the temperature of the wine be at 7 p.m.?
Q. A bottle of white wine at room temperature (68°F) is placed in a refrigerator at 4 p.m. Its temperature after t hr is changing at the rate of −18−e−0.6t°F/hour. By how many degrees will the temperature of the wine have dropped by 7 p.m.? What will the temperature of the wine be at 7 p.m.?
Calculate Integral: Calculate the integral of the rate of change from t=0 to t=3. ∫03(−18−e−0.6t)dt=[−18t−(e−0.6t)/(−0.6)] from 0 to 3.
Evaluate Limits: Evaluate the integral at the upper and lower limits and subtract to find the total temperature drop.Temperature drop = [−18(3)−(e(−0.6⋅3)/(−0.6))]−[−18(0)−(e(−0.6⋅0)/(−0.6))].
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression to find the temperature drop.Temperature drop = [−54−(e−1.8)/(−0.6)]−[0−(1)/(−0.6)].
Calculate Value: Calculate the numerical value of the temperature drop. Temperature drop = [−54−(e−1.8)/(−0.6)]−[0+1/0.6].
Correct Mistake: There's a mistake in the previous step, we need to correct the calculation.Temperature drop = [−54−(e−1.8)/(−0.6)]−[0−(1)/(−0.6)].
