The following cell defines that model. Evaluate that cell now. ;[s] 5:0,3;75,0;120,1;131,0;290,2;314,-1; 4:2,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,2,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,65535,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,0,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; ] pollution[1] := 10 pollution[n_] := 0.80 * pollution[n-1] :[font = special1; inactive; preserveAspect; ] Now you can examine the pollution in any year, for example, year 9, as illustrated in the cell below. Evaluate that cell now. ;[s] 3:0,0;103,1;125,0;127,-1; 2:2,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; ] pollution[9] :[font = special1; inactive; preserveAspect; ] The cell below illustrates how Mathematica can be used to print several years of a model. Evaluate that cell now. ;[s] 4:0,0;31,1;42,0;92,2;116,-1; 3:2,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,2,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; ] TableForm[Table[{i, pollution[i]}, {i, 1, 20}]] :[font = special1; inactive; preserveAspect; ] The cell below illustrates how Mathematica can be used to plot several years of a model. Evaluate that cell now. ;[s] 4:0,0;31,1;42,0;91,2;115,-1; 3:2,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,2,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; ] ListPlot[Table[{i, pollution[i]}, {i, 1, 20}], PlotJoined -> True, PlotRange -> {0, 10}] ^*)
