A pot of boiling water with a temperature of 100°C is set in a room with a temperature of 20°C. The temperature T of the water after x hours is given by T(x) = 20 + 80 eX. (a) Estimate the temperature of the water after 4 hours. (b) How long did it take the water to cool to 60°C? After 4 hours, the tempertaure of the water will be approximately °C. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)

Question
A pot of boiling water with a temperature of 100°C is set in a room with a temperature
of 20°C. The temperature T of the water after x hours is given by T(x)= 20 + 80 e-X.
(a) Estimate the temperature of the water after 4 hours.
(b) How long did it take the water to cool to 60°C?
After 4 hours, the tempertaure of the water will be approximately °C.
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
