A company is studying the temperature of a chemical reaction. The temperature T(t) is given by the function T(t) = e^(-2t) sin(2πt). Which of the following statements about the temperature is true?

A.D) The temperature oscillates with increasing amplitude as time approaches infinity.
B.B) The temperature approaches a non-zero constant as time approaches infinity.
C.C) The temperature approaches 0 as time approaches infinity.
D.A) The temperature approaches infinity as time approaches infinity.

Explanation

Core Concept

This question tests the student's understanding of limits and the behavior of functions over time. The temperature approaches 0 as time approaches infinity due to the e^(-2t) term. Option A is incorrect because the temperature approaches 0, not infinity. Option B is incorrect because the temperature approaches 0, not a non-zero constant. Option D is incorrect because the temperature oscillates with decreasing amplitude, not increasing amplitude.

Correct Answer

C
