Problem with matplotlib

[ncm1234]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a relatively simple graph in matplotlib but for some reason it keeps coming out looking totally wrong. I'm trying to graph the function E(x)=(-2.408/x) + (9.79x10-5/x10). Here is the code I am using:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
r_x = np.arange(0.2, 1.2, 0.05)
def E(x):
    return -2.408/x + ((9.79E-5)/(x**10))
plt.plot(r_x, E(r_x))
plt.show()

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Or why the graph ends up looking completely different than it should? Any help would be appreciated.

You'll need to tell us how it looks and what part of it looks to be incorrect to you.

Try plotting starting at 0.3 instead of 0.2. I think the default scale is just overwhelming the negative portion where you can't easily see it. You could also fix the vertical axis to what you want to emphasize that portion.
