      <title>Thanks a lot!

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Thanks a lot!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I used the second command,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;plot( Re(subs(deltaE=0.355,M=sqrt(5.4e5),Eig1(R))), R=1..10);&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and it worked!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In your last line, you evaluated that limit to be 0 as R-&amp;gt;infinity, although the plot shows that it goes to 0.355 (which is deltaE). And this is what I expected from theory as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm curious now as to how I could plot the same function against R^3 instead of vs R, without making a new variable equal to R^3 and redefining the function in terms of the new variable then plotting.&amp;nbsp; Any ideas???&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;That doesn't work,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I do&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
&amp;gt; plot( Re(subs(deltaE=0.355,M=sqrt(5.4e5),Eig1(R))),
&amp;gt;       R=1..10^(1/3)

Maple returns the correct plot,

When I change &amp;quot; Eig1(R) to Eig1(t) &amp;quot; , without changing &amp;quot;R =1..10^(1/3)&amp;quot;, I get the same result.

But when I change &amp;quot;R =1..10^(1/3)&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;t=1..10^(1/3)&amp;quot; I get an error message.


Also, I'm not sure if that would give me the output I want,
because if I plot x^2 vs x I should get a parabola ,
and if I plot x^2 vs x^2 I should get a straight line,
so the shape actually changes as well, and it's not just a matter of labeling.

Is there a way I can plot a function of x vs x^2 instead of vs x?&lt;/pre&gt;
