Newton Cooling Value

Problem

Newton's law of cooling gives T(t) = T_a + (T_0 - T_a) * e^(-k*t), where T_a is the ambient temperature and k the cooling constant.

Given t, initial temperature t0, ambient temperature ta, and rate k, return T(t).

Hint

At t = 0 the temperature is t0, and as t grows it approaches the ambient temperature.
