k=ln((R(t))/(R(t+Delta)))/Delta

Explanation:

You will need to use logarithms to solve for k:

(R(t))/(R(t+Delta))=e^(kDelta)

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

ln((R(t))/(R(t+Delta)))=lne^(kDelta)

Here, lne is equivalent to the natural logarithm of e which is 1.

ln((R(t))/(R(t+Delta)))=(kDelta)

Then isolate k by dividing the left side of the equation by Delta:

ln((R(t))/(R(t+Delta)))/Delta=k
