Required:
a. K and Time of death, td
b. Numerical Solve and plot

Solution:

a.) at t=0 T=29.5

29.5=�𝑒^(−𝑘(0))+20
𝑑�/(�−�_𝑎 )=−𝐾𝑑� �=9.5

𝐼�(�−�_𝑎 )=−𝐾�+�
�=�𝑒^(−𝑘�)+�_𝑎 �=9.5𝑒^(−𝑘�)+20
Td = 37 k= 0.49926 /hr
Ta = 20 t= -1.1656 hr
T0 = 29.5
Tt = 23.5 Therefore, the time of death was 1.1656 hour befor
t= 2 was discovered dead by the investigators.
