Homework Statement
A turkey is put in an oven maintained at a constant temperature of 210^{\circ}C. At time t=30 minutes, the turkey is 135^{\circ}C and is increasing at a rate of 1.8^{\circ}C/minute. The model for the turkey's temperature is
T(t) = 210 - ae^{-bt}
Find the values of a and b.
Homework Equations
T(t) = 210 - ae^{-bt}
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not really sure where to begin here. I could set 135deg on the left side, let t=30, and then solve for b in terms of a. Would I then use implicit differentiation to solve for a? Aren't a and b constants? Any help is much appreciated.
