Problem 2: Virus Spread Analysis

This section focuses on modeling the spread of a virus infection in an urban setting using a mathematical function that describes the rate of new infections over time.

Vocabulary: The infection rate is modeled using the function f$t$ = 150t²e^$-0.2t$, where t represents time in weeks.

Example: The graph shows weekly new infections peaking at approximately 2400 cases.

Highlight: The model incorporates both exponential growth and decay components to accurately represent the spread pattern.

Problem 1: Coffee Temperature Analysis

This section examines temperature modeling of coffee served in Germany and in an ice hotel north of the polar circle. The mathematical models use exponential functions to describe temperature changes over time.

Definition: The temperature functions T₁$t$ and T₂$t$ model coffee cooling in different environments, where t represents time.

Example: In Germany, the function T₁$t$=21+59e^$-0.134t$ models coffee temperature, while in the ice hotel, T₂$t$=-5+100e^$-0.134t$ is used.

Highlight: The optimal drinking temperature is 40°C in both locations, but the cooling rates differ significantly due to environmental conditions.
