    Newtons cooling law problem given in precalc

    do I just use k=(-.883015943)/m ? i tried doing that and this is what happened ln(78-72)=((-.883015943)/m)*(m+30)+C so it becomes 1.791759469=-.883015943+30+c ? or would it be 1.791759469=(-.883015943)*(m+30)+C or would the 30 multiply to the -.883015943? like i can never...

    Newtons cooling law problem given in precalc

    ok well see through me trying to do all of this this was the problem, i don't know how to solve for both variables, i feel like itll end up being this after subtracting c from ln(83-72) -.883015943= k ----------- m or -.883015943= m ----------- k (m and k are being...

    Newtons cooling law not making sense

    This still makes no sense this is what I tried and got stuck at: ln|98.6-72|=k*0+C so k and 0 cancel and i get 3.280911216=C so then since I don't know M (which i think you originally used x) but from going from 908 to 938 and there being a 5 degree drop I assumed that's constant and...

    Newtons cooling law not making sense

    actually i forgot to put it into the question but she wants us to use the formula and show all the work, so i can't do it the easy way lol

    Newtons cooling law problem given in precalc

    I'm going to write this up the same way my teacher gave me the sheet Homework Statement At 9am on october 19, 2009 a body was found in room 327 at University Center. The room is kept at a constant temperature of 72 degrees. The medical examiner was called and he arrived in eight minutes...
