A maintenance technician came to a very expensive hotel to install new shower-heads. The only problem is that ,when turned on, the water from the new shower heads varied over time. When the water was first turned on it was 100 degrees Fahrenheit. After being turned on, the temperature cycled between 80 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit. It took exactly 10 minutes from the time the shower was turned on to cycle back to its original temperature of 100 degrees. Let
