d

P.e. on [ - 1 , 0 ] with ( Δ y ) ( Δ x ) = ( 6 - 2 ) 1 = 4

Exercise 4
a

t = 0 gives T = 90 °C.

b

Δ T Δ t = T ( 5 ) T ( 0 ) 5 0 49,95 90 5 8,8 °C/min.

c

Approximately 3,3°C/min.

d

The difference quotient become smaller, the coffee cools slower because the temperature difference between the coffe and the room becomes smaller.
