Work Step by Step

Evaluate the indefinite integral first, $\displaystyle \int\frac{1}{T-100}dt=\left[\begin{array}{l} u=T-100\\ du=dt \end{array}\right]=\int\frac{du}{u}$ $=\ln|u|+C = \ln|T-100|+C$ $t=\displaystyle \frac{10}{\ln 2}\int_{250}^{300}\frac{1}{T-100}dt=\frac{10}{\ln 2}[\ln|T-100|]_{250}^{300}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{10}{\ln 2}(\ln 200-\ln 150)\approx$4.15037499279 ... about 4.15 minutes
