Asked by Guillermo

A corpse was discovered in a motel room at midnight and uts temperature was 82°F. The temperature dropped to 80.5°F two hours later. Given k is a constant for the object in question, S is the surrounding temperature, t represents the time and theta(of time) is the temperature at the given time, Newton's Law of Cooling states:
K(t1-t2)=-ln((theta)(t1)-S)/((theta)(t2)-S)
Find the time of death to the nearest minute
Find a function that graphs hours since death as a function of body temperature.
Thanks ahead of time!

Are you confusing k and θ?
I see no k in the function.

It also appears you are missing some information. Ought we not to know S?
