The calculations are too complex to show.....they include exponentials, logs, and solving quadratics....I think what u want is: B = 100D[(Y/A)^(1/[CD])-1] C = log(Y)/[D(log(A) + log(BD/100 +1)] D = [(-100) (+-) sqroot(100^2 - 400BY/CA)] / 2B note: D is solution of a quadratic so there are two answers ie. (+-) means do once with + and once with - to get 2 solutions for D. hope this helps Gags (3rd Year Elec Eng Student) "Chris Harding" <pouchcotato@iinet.net.au> wrote in message news:3be51fc1$0$29765@echo-01.iinet.net.au... > I have this equation that I need to be changed around, but have no idea how > to do it.
