In the court case Liebeck v. McDonald’s (1994), a woman sued McDonald’s restaurant for serving coffee at a temperature of 180° that caused her to be severely burned when the coffee spilled. An expert witness at the trial testified that liquids at 180° will cause a full thickness burn to human skin in two to seven seconds. It was stated that had the coffee been served at 155°, the liquid would have cooled and avoided the serious burns. The woman was awarded over 2.7 million dollars. Because of this famous case, many restaurants now serve coffee at a temperature around 155°.
The function below models the temperature of the coffee:
T(m) =108e-0.018m+72
a) Algebraically determine how long, to the nearest hundredth of a minute, would McDonald’s need to wait in order to serve the coffee at 155°?
b) Interpret what each of the numbers in the function represent.
c) Over time, what temperature would coffee approach?

(a) compute the maclaurin polynomial m2(x) for f(x) = cos x. (b) use the polynomial of part (a) to estimate cos π 12. (c) use a calculator to compute the error made using the estimate from part (b) for the value of cos π 12. remember that the error is defined to be the absolute value of the difference between the true value and the estimate.
