The discussion revolves around the challenge of rearranging variables in a mathematical equation, specifically focusing on solving for the variable "t" when given a value for "k." The subject area appears to involve algebra and numerical methods.
The discussion is ongoing, with some participants exploring numerical methods as a viable option for finding "t." There is no explicit consensus on the best approach, but guidance towards numerical solutions has been offered.
Participants mention constraints such as often being given the value of "k" without knowing the corresponding time "t," which complicates the problem-solving process.
bummer, I am often given the value of "k" but do not know at what time it happens. The only was so far is to plug and play or plot it and get a close estimate for "t". I am by far means no mathematician, but I would think there has to be a way to solve for "t" for a known value of "k". Maybe not though.HallsofIvy said:
