Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Printing series using tikz

[koleygr]

I am trying to plot a math series such as:
$N_{t+1}=\frac{61}{60}N_t-5$ with $N_0=120$
and I want N_t>0
I suppose that I need a code like:

Code: Select all

    \newcommand*{\lasty}{120}
    \fill[blue] (0,6) circle (25pt);
    \foreach \x in {10,20,30,...,310} {%
      \fill[blue] (\x,61/60*\lasty-5) circle (25.pt);
      \xdef\lasty{61/60*\lasty-5}
    }

My problem is that the calculations are not correct.
If you try these series in an excell file, you will find that in about 30 years (t->years) the series has to be zero and less than zero.

Could you please help me.

I also cant print the integer value on t axis

I would use pgfplots for this.

A quick fix for the calculation would be:

\pgfmathparse{61/60*\lasty-5}\xdef\lasty{\pgfmathresult}

instead of \xdef\lasty{61/60*\lasty-5}.

Thank you very much Stefan K.
It worked for both of my problems... for integers too
