The process for cleaning up waste in a nuclear reactor core room eliminates 85% of the waste present in the area. If there is 1.7 kg of waste in the room at the beginning of the monitoring period and 2 kg of additional waste are generated each week, determine a recurrence relation and initial conditions describing the amount wn, of waste in the core room at the end of week n of the monitoring period.
