Plotting with Mathematica or Wolframalpha

AI Thread Summary
To plot multiple functions on the same graph in Mathematica, use the syntax Plot[{function1, function2}, {variable, min, max}]. For example, to plot f(x) = x² and g(x) = x³ over the interval -1 ≤ x ≤ 1, the command is Plot[{x^2, x^3}, {x, -1, 1}]. This method effectively combines the functions into a single graph rather than separating them. The provided example works in Mathematica 7 and is a straightforward solution for visualizing intersecting planes or multiple functions.

Apologies if this is readily available, but I can't seem to find an example of it.

How do I go about plotting multiple functions on the same graph? It keeps splitting my functions up into separate graphs. Nothing complicated, just something like two planes intersecting.

If you want to plot something like ##f(x)=x^{2}## and ##g(x)=x^{3}## on the same graph with ##x## interval ##-1 \leq x \leq 1##, using Mathematica, you write Plot[{x^2, x^3},{x,-1,1}]. At least this works in Mathematica 7.

Thanks! Works!
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
