Part 8: Graphing Functions

1. Let's graph the function f over the interval [0, 2 pi]. Enter the following:
   plot(f(x), x=0..2*Pi);
   
   
2. When the plot appears, use your mouse to "select" it -- you should see a box around the graphic. Experiment with the drag buttons at the corners and sides of the box. Experiment with the icons at the top of the screen to see what they do. In particular, obtain each of the following:
   
   
• A plot with no axes
  
  
• A plot with dots instead of a solid curve
  
  
• A boxed plot
  
  
• A plot with the appropriate aspect ratio, i.e., the horizontal units are the same as the vertical units
