Question

Transcribed Image Text:A body was found in a room when the room's temperature was 66°F. Let f(t) denote the temperature of the body, t hours from the time of death. According to Newton's law of cooling, f satisfies a differential equation of the form y' = k(T - y). Answer parts (a) - (d) below.
(a) Find T.
T= 66 ° F
(b) After several measurements of the body's temperature, it was determined that when the temperature of the body was 79 degrees, it was decreasing at a rate of 5 degrees per hour. Find k.
k= .385
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(c) Suppose that at the time of death, the body's temperature was about normal, say 98°F. Determine f(t).
-.385t
f(t) = 32 e
+ 66
(Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.)
(d) When the body was discovered, its temperature was 86°F. Determine how long ago the person died.
The person died hours before discovery.
(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to three decimal places as needed.)
