it to plot the negative points. Can anyone tell me where I
am going wrong on this. I am using TexShop on iMac to do

I see no explicit negative points — are these indicated by
parentheses ? If so, what happens if you replace parenthesis
notation with an explicit unary minus and no parentheses ?<br clear="none">
