Forensics At 8:30 A.M., a coroner went to the home of a person who had died during the night. In order to estimate the time of death, the coroner took the person’s temperature twice. At 9:00 A.M. the temperature was 85.7F, and at 11:00 A.M. the temperature was 82.8F. From these two temperatures, the coroner was able to determine that the time elapsed since death and the body temperature were related by the formula t=10lnT7098.670 where t is the time in hours elapsed since the person died and T is the temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) of the person’s body. (This formula comes from a general cooling principle called Newton’s Law of Cooling. It uses the assumptions that the person had a normal body temperature of 98.6F at death and that the room temperature was a constant 70F.) Use the formula to estimate the time of death of the person.
Cell Phone Plans Gwendolyn is mulling over the three cell phone plans shown in the table. From past experience, Gwendolyn knows that she will always use more than 1 GB of cell phone data every month.

(b) Find formulas that give Gwendolyn’s monthly cost for each plan, assuming that she use x gigabytes of data per month (where x1 ). (c) What is the charge from each plan when Gwendolyn uses 2.2 GB? 3.7 GB? 4.9 GB? (d) Use your formulas from part (b) to determine the number of gigabytes of data usage for which: (i) Plan A and Plan B give the same cost. (ii) Plan A and Plan C give the same cost. (iii) Plan B and Plan C give the same cost.
