    MHB Finding T with Newton's Cooling Law

    Thank you very much. I followed your suggestions, this is what my answer looks like: T=75e^(-2t) +65-8cost-4sint I understand that the term 75e^(-2t) is a decaying term because it goes to 0 as t goes to infinity. However, how do you think I must describe the behavior of the function with an...

    MHB Finding T with Newton's Cooling Law

    Ok, i have attempted to solve it using an integration factor, right? So T'=-k[T-65+10cos(t)] Im asked to assume that k=2 so i got T'=-2T+130-20cos(t) T'+2T=-20cos(t)+130 U(t)=e^(2t) .. T=-4(sin(t)+2cos(t))+65+C Initial condition T(0)=75 so when i plug it in i get T=-4sin(t)-8cos(t)+18 Can you...

    MHB Finding T with Newton's Cooling Law

    Hi, I just need help getting started with this problem. I am given the Newton's cooling law which is T'= -k[T-Ta] and I'm also given that Ta is a function also and it is Ta(t)=65-10cos(t) I'm asking to solve for T when k=2 and T(0) = 75. Do I just plug in 2 for...
