Answer :
We are given
[tex]T(t)=42-0.7t[/tex]
where
T models the temperature in Quinn's home (in degrees Celsius) after t minutes
t is time in minutes
Since, we have to find rate of change of temperature
so, we will find derivative
[tex]T'(t)=0-0.7\times 1[/tex]
[tex]T'(t)=0.7[/tex]
So, the temperature drops at a rate 0.7 degrees Celsius per minutes.........Answer
