Coroners estimate time of death using the rule of thumb that a body cools about 2 degrees F during the first hour after death and about 1 degree F for each additional hour. Assuming an air temperature of 78 degrees F and a living body temperature of 98.6 degrees F, the temperature T(t) in degrees F of a body at a time t hours since death is given byT(t)=78+26.6e−kt1. For what value of k will the body cool by 2 degrees F in the first hour?
