According to Newton’s law of cooling (see Section 1.1), the temperature of an object at time t is governed by the differential equation

where Tm is the temperature of the surrounding medium, and k is a constant. Consider the case when Tm = 70 and k = 1/80. Sketch the corresponding slope field and some representative solution curves. What happens to the temperature of the object as t → ∞? Note that this result is independent of the initial temperature of the object.
