    MHB Is my answer correct? (Exponential Functions)

    13) The temperature of a cup of coffee can be approximated by the equation $$T(t) = P(\frac{441}{450})^t$$, where T is the temperature in Celsius, t is time in minutes and P is the initial temperature of the coffee. If the initial temperature of the coffee is 102 degrees celsius, when will the...

    MHB Finding the Altitude at a Given Air Pressure

    Thanks for replying! We don't go over logarithms for this class (that's next year), so I don't think that my teacher would want us to solve it like that, since this is a question on a test review. So, is there any other method of solving that, without logarithms? I got the answer $$10$$ kPa...

    MHB Finding the Altitude at a Given Air Pressure

    Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. The pressure can be approximated by the formula $$P(h) = 101.33(0.9639)^\frac{h}{1000}$$ where $$P$$ is pressure in kilopascals and $$h$$ is height in feet. a) What is the pressure at sea level (0 feet)? b) At what altitude will the air...
