    Finding the decay constant k for a depreciation differential equation

    This is my first time tackling this kind of problem. 1. Let $Q$ be the percentage of what he remembers. 2. Let $t$ be the time in weeks. 3. Initial condition 1: $Q=0.95 $ and $t=0$ 5. Initial condition 2: $Q=0.80 $ and $t=1$ Now I'm stuck about finding the rate. From what I understand...
