Question

Inspector Watkins is called to a murder scene. The body was found stuffed in a freezer where the temperature was 10F. The temperature of a human body B in Fahrenheit, after spending h hours in 10F freezer is exponential function:
B(x) = 10 + 88.6*(0.97)^h What should be the victim's body temperature now if the
victim was killed 7 hours ago? Show work.

Bot · Answer

To find the victim's body temperature now, we need to plug in h=7 into the equation:

B(7) = 10 + 88.6*(0.97)^7

Using a calculator, we get:

B(7) ≈ 43.4

Therefore, the victim's body temperature now is approximately 43.4°F.
