From help-request at octave dot org Sat Mar 19 18:12:44 2005 Subject: plotting even function From: "John B. Thoo" To: Octave_post mailing list Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2005 16:20:04 -0800 Hi. I hope that I'm not embarrassing myself by asking the following. I believe that 3 2/3 1 y = --- (2 x) + --- 4 2 is an even function, yet x = -1:0.04:1; plot (x, 0.75 * (2 .* x).^(2 / 3) + 0.5) is not symmetrical about the y-axis. What is wrong with my thinking? TIA. ---John. ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
