dH = -.036(H-20)dt
1/(H-20) dH = -.036dt 1/(H-20) dH = -.036dt ln(H-20) = -.036 t + C H-20 = e-.036 t + C H-20 = A e-.036 t H(t) = A e-.036 t + 20
ln(10/17)/-.036 = t
t = 8.4 hours
Solution can be found numerically Eulers Method gives a particular solution ynew = ynew + x(y) Since 30 occurs between 8 and 8.5, time of death occurred at approximately 8 hours before 4 pm which would be 7:30 am
