Question: An exponential function is expressed as (x(t)=A e^{-alpha t}) with the values of (x(t)) known at (t=1) and (t=2) as (x(1)=0.752985) and (x(2)=0.226795), respectively. Determine

An exponential function is expressed as \(x(t)=A e^{-\alpha t}\) with the values of \(x(t)\) known at \(t=1\) and \(t=2\) as \(x(1)=0.752985\) and \(x(2)=0.226795\), respectively. Determine the values of \(A\) and \(\alpha\).
