Plotting problem with Mathematica 8

[issacnewton]

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?

 

[issacnewton]

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?
