Exponential and Logarithmic Functions - Applications of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

A piece of meat is removed from the freezer and it is then allowed to thaw. Its temperature, \(T{}^\circ \mathrm{C}\), after \(t\) minutes is given by \(T=28-46{{\mathrm{e}}^{-0.25t}}\).

1. Find the initial temperature.
2. Find the value of \(T\) after \(\frac{1}{15}\mathrm{hour}\).
3. State the value of that \(T\) approaches when \(t\) becomes large.
