Let the formula be for time in seconds

Thus, we have:


T(t)=T_a+(T_0-T_a)e^(-kt)

T_a would be the freezer temperature, 4

T_0 would be the initial temp, which is 73

t is the time [9 minutes afterwards, t = 9]

k is 0.05

Substituting, we get:


\begin{gathered} T(t)=T_a+(T_0-T_a)e^(-kt) \\ T(9)=4_{}+(73-4_{})e^(-(0.05)(9)) \\ T(9)=4+69e^(-0.45) \\ T(9)\approx48 \end{gathered}

To nearest degree Fahrenheight, T = 48 degrees F
