Answer

$T(t)=T_{s}+D_{0}e^{-kt}$

Work Step by Step

Newton's Law of Coollng is described on p. 377: If an object has an initial temperature that is $D_{0}$ degrees warmer than the surrounding temperature $T_{s}$, then at time $t$ the temperature $T(t)$ of the object is modeled by the function $T(t)=T_{s}+D_{0}e^{-kt}$ where the constant $k>0$ depends on the size and type of the object.
