Homework Statement



I am not sure what to do with Maple. I've barely used it at all, but trying to figure out why this won't work with what I have below.

Plot schematically the change in equilibrium temperature of Earth, if its albedo changes from 0.3 to 0.7 (in 0.1 jumps).

Homework Equations



[itex]\frac{L(1-a)R^2}{4d^2}[/itex]

The Attempt at a Solution



(This assignment is old btw, just wanted to figure out what I did wrong.)

When I right click on the equation and select plot it assigns my already assigned variables as unknowns between -5 and 5. Really not sure what to do?

Did I improperly assign the variables or perhaps the function?
