Problem 4: Plotting the data

Define vector t=[0:0.5:4]; where t is in number of years. A radioactive element decays in a first-order
process, given by: N (t) = N0 e
−(t/τ)
. Consider N0 = 5 and τ = 0.9 . The data is stored in variables t
and N .
What command will you use in MATLAB to plot the data as solid black line with red diamond as markers
(see the figure below)
