solve for T

[letsride]

express T in terms of t

this was an anaylis type q based on newtons law of cooling

btw Te, To, k, P, T, t are terms just like x,y,z



im kinda stuck w/ the absolute sign

the answer i think was T = Te + (P/k) + (Te-To-(P/k))e^-kt

[letsride]

i know it gets to e^kt = |[-k(To-Te)+P]/[-k(T-Te)+P]|

w/ the absolute sign, can't you just take it as +-e^kt, however the answer provided throws away the -

[brightsky]

If it helps, always try to think of the absolute values signs as .

[letsride]

don't understand how the answer is T = Te + (P/k) + (Te-To-(P/k))e^-kt unless you ignore the absolute :s

And then, there will be some other constraints you'll use to eliminate negative option from the
