Answer:
Initial temperature = 20° C
Temperature after 18 minutes = 4° C
Explanation:
Function representing the relation in the temperature of the soda and time has been given as,
T(x) =
![-8+28e^(-0.045x)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/6acpdi0j7daj4wz38le0x5wpij14wkhrgl.png)
Here x = number of minutes since the can was placed in the cooler
For initial temperature of the soda,
x = 0,
T(0) =
![-8+28e^((28* 0))](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/tq14u6t90rocdm1d07yaqcmaoc2fuljii0.png)
= -8 + 28(1)
= 20° C
For the temperature after 18 minutes,
x = 18,
T(18) =
![-8+28.e^(-0.045* 18)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/gqt4pk64ze8ch0r2sp1ff7shg7x4rneic2.png)
=
![-8+28.e^((-0.81))](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/q6apzso0h83swh2b1lca4wm1bucyv3tx80.png)
=
![-8+12.456](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/iymxiqrt9wviyc5j8n2v6w22fwitpdudmj.png)
= 4.456 C
≈ 4° C
