    Algebra help

    a = (1-e^(bt))/(1-e^(ct))

    Isolate t (a, b, c are all known).

    Anyone?

    If you are curious as to why I need to solve this - I am trying to determine the parameters of an exponential decay given 3 points.

    V = Vf - (Vf - Vi)e^(-t/r)
    where r is the time constant.

    (this is the transient response of a battery after a charging current or a load has been removed)

    After solving the system (3 V's and 3 t's), I got an equation in the form above, and couldn't solve it.
