Plot is not working

Hi! I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. My plot doesn't show any lines nor scatter points. What is wrong with this?

Yo= 2012500;
K= 8050000;
r= 0.71;
t= 2;
Y= (K*Yo)./((K-Yo)*exp(-r*t)+Yo);
T= 0:0.5:t;
plot (T,Y)

Your T is a vector, and your Y is a scalar. There is no singular line because it is actually plotting all 5 points as individual line objects. check it out:

figure
Yo= 2012500;
K= 8050000;
r= 0.71;
t= 2;
Y= (K*Yo)./((K-Yo)*exp(-r*t)+Yo);
T= 0:0.5:t;
a= plot(T,Y,'ro')

The above code should plot 5 circular markers.

a will return 5 line objects.

if you ran this:

% here, both arguments are of the same size. 
% All I did was repeat Y n number of times equal to the length of T
a= plot(T,repmat(Y,1,numel(T)),'r') 

then a will return 1 line object, that is a line.

also, dont put a space between plot and the parentheses.

let me know if this clears your question

Yes it worked. But I actually wanted to see a curve for this graph. How can I set the y-values to start from 0?

Move your assignment to T to before the assignment to Y, and in Y change the reference to t to be a reference to T

[Kevin Phung]

^ You want Y to be a function of a vector, instead of just a constant (which is again, why you only got 1 point for 5 separate line objects).

Walter's comment:

figure
Yo= 2012500;
K= 8050000;
r= 0.71;
t= 2;
T= 0:0.5:t;
Y= (K*Yo)./((K-Yo).*exp(-r*.T)+Yo);

a= plot(T,Y,'r')

I suggest looking into the documentation for plot()
