6.8 Exercise 172

Avg difficulty 2.5

A bottle of soda with a temperature of 71° \text{71}° Fahrenheit was taken off a shelf and placed in a refrigerator with an internal temperature of 35° F. \text{35}°\text{ F} . After ten minutes, the internal temperature of the soda was 63° F. \text{63}°\text{ F} . Use Newton’s Law of Cooling to write a formula that models this situation. To the nearest degree, what will the temperature of the soda be after one hour?
