Suppose you have just poured a cup of freshly brewed coffee with temperature in a room where the temperature is .
Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. Therefore, the temperature of the coffee, , satisfies the differential equation where is the room temperature, and is some constant.
Suppose it is known that the coffee cools at a rate of per minute when its temperature is .

A. What is the limiting value of the temperature of the coffee?


B. What is the limiting value of the rate of cooling?


C. Find the constant in the differential equation.
.

D. Use Euler's method with step size minutes to estimate the temperature of the coffee after minutes.
