y=Ce^ktA) First find k. [Hint:Use the given information of y=100 when t=2, and y=300 when t=4 to compute k.]

B) Finally, find the value for C. [Hint use ine of the two pieces of information given in the problem to solve for C. in other words, use either y=100 when t=2 or use y=300 when 4=4 to compute C]. [Hint: to find t use y=1].

Is that a challenge problem? I'm heavily intoxicated at the moment so it's not obvious if it is or not.

We are given:

$$y=Ce^{kt}$$

First, divide through by $C\ne0$ to get:

$$\frac{y}{C}=e^{kt}$$

Next convert from exponential to logarithmic form...what do you get?
