I wanted to plot this function:
f(x) = x^2 + 1/x
and I plotted it using this command:
plot(f, (x, -100, 100))
and when I plotted it I got a wrong plot:

Cheaper (less points) and clearer (more concentrated about the origin, uncluttered by axes, explicitely shows the singularity) :
f(x)=x^2+1/x
plot(f,(-10,10),detect_poles="show",axes=False,plot_points=100)
See it in Sagecell
I am not sure about your problem (you did not tell what was wrong in the picture), but in case you want to see the vertical asymptote around zero, you can require Sage to plot more points as follows:
f(x) = x^2 + 1/x
plot(f, (x, -100, 100), plot_points=100000)

Can you say exactly what command you used? Probably it wasn't wrong, but had a very high y-axis because 1/x has an asymptote. Try using
ymax=10as a keyword in your plot.Sorry I forgot to say the plotting command I used ; I edited the post.
