Math exponentials and logarithms homework

can anyone help with this question??

rabbits were introduced onto an exotic island. the number of rabbits, r, t years after they were introduced is modeled by the equation r = 80e^1/5t
t is bigger than or equal to 0

a) find dr/dt when t= 2

b) find R when dr/dt = 50

yehh, for this one, because it's e^-1/5t, the power still comes down but does not change making dr/dt= -1/5(80)e^-1/5t and then substitute t=2
