Paso 1 1 de 4
We have a thermometer used to measure the temperature in an oven preheated to a constants temperature Tove ,
and this temperature of thermometer increases at a rate proportional to the difference between thermometer's
temperature T and oven temperature Tove as
dT
= k (T − Tove )
(1)
dt
T (t = 0 mins) = 70° F
T (t = 0.5 mins) = 110° F
T (t = 1 mins) = 145° F
and we have to obtain the temperature of oven Tove as the following technique :
First, since equation (1) is a linear and separable differential equation, then we can separate variables and
integrate as
dT
= k dt
T − Tove
1
∫ dT = k ∫ dt
T − Tove
ln(T − Tove ) = kt + c1
Then we have
kt
= c e + Tove (2)

Second, now to find the constants c and k , we have to apply the given conditions as the following :
70 = c e0 + Tove
Then we have
c = 70 − Tove
After that, substitute with the value of c into equation (2), then we have
(3)
And we have to apply the point (T , t) = (110° F , 0.5 minutes) into equation (3) as
0.5k
110 − Tove = (70 − Tove ) e
110 − Tove
e0.5k = (a)
70 − Tove
Also, we have to apply the point (T , t) = (145° F , 1 minutes) into equation (3) as
0.5k
145 − Tove = (70 − Tove ) e
145 − Tove
ek = (b)
70 − Tove

By comparing between the two equations (a) and (b), we can have

ek = e(k)
