Aryn · Answer 1

Initial 18 degrees Celsius

After 20 minutes, 5 degrees Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

It's initial temperature can be calculated as at the time when x = 0

When x = 0, the temperature is - 6+24 = 18 degrees Celsius

This is because the exponent part equals 1 since anything raised in to the power of zero is one.

After twenty minutes,

T (x) = - 6 + 24e^-0.038 (20)

T (x) = - 6 + 11.224 = 5.224

And that is approximately 5 degrees Celsius to the nearest degree
