How to plot a 4^x and a x^8 function together? I have tried so many things from ezplot to plot and fplot, I am very new to this and I hope anyeone could help me

>> fplot(x^8,4^x)
>> ylim([0 10])
>> fplot(x^8,4^x);
>> plot(x^8,4^x)

But i need the view of the domain -1 to 2 and the range from 0 to 7. How do i do that?

[Walter Roberson]

For the domain you want:

x = linspace(-1,2,100);

for the range you want: note that 2^4 and 2^8 are both greater than 7. What do you want to have happen for the parts of the plot that would be outside your range?

[Andrew Setiawan]

I just need to be able to see all the intersection points, and i found the intersection at desmos

[Walter Roberson]

Well if you do not want to see anything above 7 even though it exists in the data, then

ylim([0 7])

Answer 1

[Nicolas Schmit]

x=linspace(-1,1,100);
plot(x.^4);
hold on;
plot(x.^8);
hold off
