I have to plot 1/(x-3). clearly the function is not defined at x=3. Whenever I try to plot it there is a huge vertical line at x=3, which should not be there. Help me out.
The code I write sage: f(x)=1/(x-3) sage: p=plot(f(x),(x,-10,10) sage: p.show()
Thanks Amit
You can also use the detect_poles option to not draw the vertical line
plot(1/(x-3),(x,0,5), detect_poles=True,ymin=-2,ymax=2)
Or even better, have it automatically draw the asymptote:
plot(1/(x-3),(x,0,5), detect_poles='show',ymin=-2,ymax=2)
In Sage you can add separate plots to draw them on the same image; try this:
sage: f(x)=1/(x-3)
sage: p=plot(f(x),(x,-10,2.9), aspect_ratio=1)
sage: q=plot(f(x),(x,3.1,10), aspect_ratio=1)
sage: (p+q).show()
or, if you want to be a little fancy, add the asymptote:
sage: L = line2d([(3,10),(3,-10)], linestyle="dashed", color="red")
sage: (p+q+L).show()
Thanks Jason,tririver and Niles for the help.
especially Jason... Your method is with the least code and effective. Thanks
