standard_description: Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.
problem_activity: Task
A cup of hot coffee will, over time, cool down to room temperature.  The
principle of physics governing the process is Newton's Law of Cooling.
Experiments with a covered cup of coffee show that the temperature (in
degrees Fahrenheit) of the coffee can be modelled by the following
equation
$$
f(t) =  110e^{-0.08t}+75.
$$
Here the time $t$ is measured in minutes after the coffee was poured into
the cup.
Explain, using the structure of the expression $110e^{-0.08t} + 75$,
why the coffee temperature decreases as time elapses.
What is the temperature of the coffee at the beginning of the experiment?
After how many minutes is the coffee $140$ degrees?
After how many minutes is the coffee $100$ degrees?
