6. According to Newton's Law of Cooling, the rate of change of an object's temperature is proportional to the difference
between the temperature of the object and that of the surrounding medium. The accompanying figure shows the graph
of the temperature T (in degrees Fahrenheit) versus time t (in minutes) for a cup of coffee, initially with a temperature
of 200 F , that is allowed to cool in a room with a constant temperature of 75 F .

7. Suppose that a product currently sells for $25, with the price increasing at the rate of $2 per year. At this current price,
consumers will buy 150 thousand items, but the number sold is decreasing at the rate of 8 thousand per year. Revenue
= quantity x price, since these quantities are changing in time, we write R(t) = Q(t)P(t),
where R(t) is revenue, Q(t)
is quantity sold and P(t) is the price, all at.time
