So I have a data set I would like to model using a non-linear method. I know it should be an exponential decay. However I know what the first derivative of the equation should be at two points, x=0 and x=100. Is there anyway to establish this when inputing the model or how would one go about this before
the nls statement....

Given the rather simple relationship between the exponential function and its derivative, why would you need the regression if you already have those two points for dy/dx ( as well as the value of the function at x=0)? Is this homework?
