3. The body of a murder victim was discovered in the early hours of the morning at 2:00 a.m. The police surgeon arrived at 2:30 a.m. and immediately took the temperature of the body, which was 94.7°F. One hour later the temperature of the body was 93.4°F. Surrounding temperature was constant at 90°F. If the normal body temperature is 98.6°F, a) Formulate a mathematical model for the temperature of the body as a function of time. b) Solve the model c) Use your solution in b) to estimate the time of death.
