A dead body was found within a closed room of a house where the temperature was a constant 65° F. At the time of discovery the core temperature of the body was determined to be 80° F. One hour later a second measurement showed that the core temperature of the body was 75° F. Assume that the time of death corresponds to t = and that the core temperature at that time was 98.6° F. Determine how many hours elapsed before the body was found. [Hint: Let t₁> 0 denote the time that the body wa discovered.] (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
