Analyze Data and Models: Analyze the given data points and the models to determine which best fits the data. We have the temperature data at different times: t=0, C=18t=0.5, C=29.677t=1, C=48.929t=1.5, C=80.670t=2, C=133.003 We need to check which model fits these data points best.
Test Initial Data Point: Test each model with the initial data point t=0. Model A: C(t)=56.2×t+5.856 C(0)=56.2×0+5.856=5.856 (Does not match C=18) Model B: C(t)=18et C(0)=18e0=18 (Matches C=18) Model C: C(t)=18t+17 C(0)=180+17=18+17=35 (Does not match C=18) Only Model B matches the initial condition.
Confirm Model B: Test Model B with another data point for confirmation.Using t=1, C=48.929C(1)=18e1≈18×2.718=48.924 (Close to C=48.929)This confirms that Model B continues to fit the data well.
