911!
I need some help!
Welcome
to the Boling Bombshell Hint Line!!!!!
Looking
for help on the cooling corpse?
. Heres a few
questions to guide you to a solution
a) What numerical Data do you know? 
Yeah, we are a math class. So what numbers did Agent 008 come up with? What temperatures (y) did he get and what is
the time (x) associated with each of those
temperatures?
b) What is the hottest possible temperature
that the body could get to?
I mean, if he left to corpse in that spring for 20 days
how hot would it get? When we deal with
exponential functions, that maximum value has a special name
c) Since I dont know what time she died at,
what should I use as my starting time for the problem?
Well, according to the way the information was
gathered, when did Agent 008 start his mathematical data
when did he start
noting temperatures?
Whats the best value that
represents the time when a problem begins?
d) How can I use that equation?
Well you should have a few points (x & y values),
and an idea of what the value of b would be
check your notes!
with a few lines of basic
algebra you can figure out the k and m values in the problem
d) Why do I need to know the temperature of
the corpse when The Princess was killed?
We can assume that right before the moment of her
death, he was ... alive. And we all know
that bodies have a certain temperature.
So why and how do I use this to find out when he died?
. Hmmm
this is an Algebra Class, and we are studying Logarithms.
