bisection? d x (exp^(-a x b)) - exp^((-a x b)) - d + 1 = 0

[hitawall]

d x (exp^(-a x b)) - exp^((-a x b)) - d + 1 = 0

I need to find a

b=900
c=400
d=0.375

I am pretty hopeless as anything more than basic algebra. I've been told you can solve this by bisection/newton-raphson. Could anyone help?

Thanks in advance
