Write a Matlab function to solve given Case Study by using False Position Method 5.6 CASE STUDY GREENHOUSE GASES AND RAINWATER Background. It is well documented that the atmospheric levels of several so-called "greenhouse" gases have been increasing over the past 50 ye . For example, Fig. 5.10 shows data for the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (CO2) collected at Mauna Loa, Hawaii from 1958 through 2008. The trend in these data can be nicely fit with a quadratic polyno- mial. Pah = 0012226(1-1983)2 + 1.418542(1-1983) + 342.38309 where pco-CO2 partial pressure (ppm). These data indicate that levels have increaseda little over 22% over the period from 315 to 386 ppm. One question that we can address is how this trend is affecting the pH of rainwater Outside of urban and industrial areas, it is well documented that carbon dioxide is the pri- mary determinant of the pH of the rain. pH is the measure of the activity of hydrogen ions and, therefore, its acidity or alkalinity. For dilute aqueous solutions, it can be computed as pH =-log10[H+] (5.8) where [H'1 is the molar concentration of hydrogen ions. The following five equations govern the chemistry of rainwater (5.9) FIGURE S.10 Average annual partial prossuros of atmosphoric carbon diaxido (ppm) measured at Mauna loa, Hawaii 370 350 (ppm) 330 1960 1970 In Part Four, we will learn how to determine such polynomials
