4 The temperature \(T ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\) of a liquid at time \(t\) minutes is given by the equation $$T = 30 + 20 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 0.05 t } , \quad \text { for } t \geqslant 0 .$$ Write down the initial temperature of the liquid, and find the initial rate of change of temperature.
Find the time at which the temperature is \(40 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }\).
