How to plot a single variable function with constraints

10 views (last 30 days)
Hello, I am trying to plot f(x) = 4 - x*sin(x) with constraints x>=6, x<=9 and log(x)>= -1. I tried using meshgrid but the graph came out wrong + it was in the 3rd dimension. Can anyone tell me how I should go about plotting a simple function with these constraints? Thank you!

I'm honestly not sure, my professor gave me these constraints and I'm not sure what the log is supposed to mean.

log(x) or lg(x) can mean log 10 of x, my education system alway use lg(x) for log 10 of x as shortcut so it might be what your professor meant

f = @(x) 4 - x*sin(x);
fplot(f, [6 9]);

You can assign NaN to anything you don't want plotted. Example,
x=linspace(0,2,1000);
f=sin(x);
f( 0.5<=x & x<=1)=nan;
plot(x,f);
