The Celsius temperature of a hot potato placed in a room is given by the function T = 40* 2- .007 t + 24 , where t is clock time in seconds and T is temperature in Celsius. •At what average rate is the temperature of the potato changing between clock times t = 6.8 and t = 6.9 seconds seconds?

• At what average rate is the temperature of the potato changing between clock times t = 6.8 and t = 6.81 seconds?

• At what average rate is the temperature of the potato changing between clock times t = 6.8 and t = 6.801 seconds?

• What do you estimate is the rate at which temperature is changing at clock time t = 6.8 seconds?

The rate at which the Celsius temperature of a hot potato placed in a room is given by Rate = .041 * 2- .007 t, where R is rate of change in Celsius degrees per second and t is clock time in seconds. How much temperature change do you estimate would occur between t = 6.8 and t = 13.6 seconds?

F(t final)-f(t initial)/ interval

T=6.8 &6.9

(f( 62.68300844)- f( 62.70178211))/.1= -.1877367 C

@&

It's not clear why you're evaluating f at 62.683, 62.702, etc.. Nor is it clear what your function f is, since no f function is defined in the problem.

It's fine to refer to a function f, as long as you've first defined it.

t=6.8 &6.81

(f( 62.69990433)- f( 62.70178211))/.1= -.187778 C

t=6.8 &6.801

(f( 62.70159433)- f( 62.70178211))/.1= -.187782158 C

####I do not understand how we find the derivative function of t=40*2^-.007t+24 to find the rate at which the temp is changing at 6.8 secs????

(f(.0383818409) -f(.0396693267))/ 6.8= -1.893 C

@&

T = 40* 2- .007 t + 24 applied to the first problem.

This question applies to the new situation, in which the rate is

Rate = .041 * 2- .007 t,
