I am collecting nice 2-d functions to demonstrate graphing tool, if anyone have great functions which will look great on 2-d plotting, please let me know.

Here are few equations I am using now. if you guys need I can provide a link to plot each of these graphs. The plotting program I am using allow to use up to 3 different function same time.

(1) sin(pi*x/5)-tan(x*2)
(2) min(sin(pi*x-2),0.452)
(3) F1::cos(pi*x) / (-ln(2)*x), F2::sqrt(9-x^2), F3::-sqrt(9-x^2)
(4) F1::x*sin(10*x), F2::x, F3::-x
(5) F1::ln(x)*cos(15*x), F2::ln(x), F3::-ln(x)
(6) sin(954*x)-2*cos(x)

Thanks in advance

This one looks nice:

f(x) = ((x-0.2)sin(1/(x-0.2)) + x +0.8)(10(x-0.1)^2+0.9)
I tried to plot this function, but I am getting an error (syntax error)
((x-0.2)*sin(1/(x-0.2))+x+0.8)*(10*(x-0.1)^2+0.9)

Should work. It is defined on <-infty, 0.2>

I really like this one:
f(x)=0
Is this a function or constant ?
LOL

Just another wavy thing. Can' compete against the stark elegance and cool sobriety of MY function. :approve:

May be true. But your function didn't get a wow. :-p :biggrin: :approve:

Mere newbie lack of taste. He'll get a more refined and cultured taste as he plunges deeper into the mysteries of maths.

can it do an exponential function?
It can do all these functions

sin(), cos(), tan(), asin(), acos(), atan()
ln() - standard natural logarithmic
e - natual base
sqrt() - square root
abs() - absolute value
max() - maximum of two numbers
min() - minimum of two numbers
floor() - revious nearest integer
ceil() - next nearest integer
round() - nearest integer
 
Just a heads up guys, I am working on a online function evaluation tool, Which will automatically generate data table for given function for given boundaries. Will let you know once this is ready.

Also here is the new thread I created for new 3D function graphing tool
