Hi-
I can't do:
(C1) f2(x):=(sin(x)/x,x,1);
(C2) plot2d(f2(x),[x,-1,1]);
Note that:
x (rad) y=sin(x)/x
+/- 1.0 0.84147
0.9 0.87036
0.8 0.89670
0.7 0.92031
0.5 0.94107
0.4 0.95885
0.3 0.97365
0.2 0.98507
0.1 0.99335
0.01 0.99998
What's plotted has a 90 degrees angle! I mean, really!
(And I begin to wonder if xmaxima will help me pass my Calculus
class...)
What's with plot2d?? What was the _last version_ when it was working properly?
