TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING | FOR EXAMPLE 5.10 When the cake in the example reaches a temperature of 300 degrees, it is baked. The cake is taken from the oven and placed on a counter to cool. The temperature of the room is 75degrees. The difference between the cakes temperature and room temperature is an exponential function of time, in minutes, with decay factor 0.85. What is the initial value of this exponential function? What is the limiting value of the cakes temperature? Find a formula that gives the cakes temperature after t minutes. EXAMPLE 5.10BAKING A CAKE A pan of cake batter is initially at a room temperature of 75degrees. The pan is placed in a 350degree oven to bake. Let C=C(t) denote the temperature of the cake batter tminutes after it is placed in the oven. In this example, all temperatures are measured in degrees Fahrenheit. Part 1 The temperature of the cake batter is given by C=LimitingvalueTemperature difference. What is the limiting value of C. Part 2 Let D denote the difference between the oven temperature and that of the batter. Then Newtons law of cooling tells us that D is an exponential function. What is the initial value of D. Part 3 After 10 minutes, we find that the cake batter has heated to 165 degrees. Find a formula for D. Part 4 Find a model for the temperature of the cake batter t minutes after it is placed in the oven.
