Time for action – plotting a polynomial and its derivatives
Let’s plot a polynomial and its first and second derivative. We will make three subplots for the sake of clarity:
Create a polynomial and its derivatives using the following code.
func = np.poly1d(np.array([1, 2, 3, 4]).astype(float)) x = np.linspace(-10, 10, 30) y = func(x) func1 = func.deriv(m=1) y1 = func1(x) func2 = func.deriv(m=2) y2 = func2(x)
Create the first subplot of the polynomial with the
subplot
function. The first parameter of this function is the number of rows, the second parameter is the number of columns, and the third parameter is an index number starting with 1. Alternatively, you can combine the three parameters into a single number such as311
. The subplots will be organized in 3 rows and 1 column. Give the subplot the title"Polynomial"
. Make a solid red line.plt.subplot(311) plt.plot(x, y, 'r-’) plt.title("Polynomial")
Create the third subplot of the first derivative with the
subplot
function. Give the subplot...
