Financial cost of extracting polluants

This exercise is not real from any source. Just typical of the "popular erroneous exponential cost". m = 100 polluants, n = 100 [extract all], $ 50000 are typical to enable the plot. Representative of more transformations. The rational fit is for practice

1. base cost of extracting 100 polluants @ 100% extraction 2. number of base polluants .......... ........... => 3. 'n' = number of polluants treated .......... => 4. 'p' = % extraction
