Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a plotting problem encountered while using Mathematica 8, specifically related to options for filling in plots as described in the book "Student's Introduction to Mathematica." Participants seek to refine their approach to achieve the desired visual output.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant shares their attempt at solving a problem from a textbook and requests suggestions for improvement.
  • Another participant inquires if the original poster has explored the options for the Filling attribute in Mathematica.
  • The original poster confirms they have tried the "Bottom" option for Filling but notes that other options like "Top" and "Axis" do not yield the desired results.
  • A participant asks for clarification on what the 'Axis' option looks like and why it does not meet the original poster's needs.
  • The original poster later shares a solution they found, indicating that the author has provided programming solutions on the book's website.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion includes multiple viewpoints regarding the effectiveness of different Filling options in Mathematica, and no consensus is reached on the best approach to achieve the desired plot output.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not resolved the specific limitations of the Filling options or the conditions under which each option may be effective.

Hi

I am trying to do some problem from the book "Student's Introduction to Mathematica" 2ed.
I have shown the snapshot of the problem in 1.png. My attempt is a snapshot in 2.png.
Please suggest some ways to do this correctly.

thanks

Have you tried looking at the options for Filling?
 
Yes, I have looked into the options of Filling. I have used "Bottom" in my attempt. Other
Filling options are Top and Axis. But they don't give the desired output.
 
What does 'Axis' look like? Why isn't it what you want?
