MathCAD oddities


Hello!

I'm having the following problem;


I try to plot a 1D matrice with a sequence, or a 1D matrice and I get a result that "this value must be real". Now.... what!?

I am using MathCAD 14.

Help is much appreciated,
Uku

I see your matrix has an unspecified index "abi".
Remove the index "abi" from M, and it should work a lot better.
I'm assuming you want i to iterate over the values in M.

Also, if you want to do something with i in the definition of M, you need to make sure i is in the document before M, otherwise MathCAD will think i is the imaginary number sqrt(-1).

[Edit]How did you define i? Did you type i:1;12 (which is the proper way)?[/Edit]

If you really want, you can put an index "abi" in as just a name without symbolic function.
To do this I believe you need to type M.abi instead of M[abi.

I can't see the entire plot to try and work out what you've done ... posting a worksheet as well as an image is generally helpful as several problems are not obvious from just a screenshot (also saves respondents typing things in). Try plotting F(10) against F(10), or assiging F(10) to a variable and plotting that using a standard range variable technique.

See attached Mathcad 11 format file.
