So you will need to solve for k in this case and then plug it back in I don't have a calulator on me right now but try this..
3000=3600e^k*4
solving for k (growth constant) would give you
3000/3600=k*4
ln(3000)/3600)/4=k
this should give you your rate constant, now plug the k value in for the following => 3600=Ae^k*10
Now solve for A and this should give you your answer..
