Why do these two graphs look so different despite being the same function? (And yes, I realize that the grapher on the right isn't showing the imaginary portion, but it still looks radically different)

One is zoomed in, the other isn't.

they're different graphs

>> No.4078365

One has the same scale in both axis, the other doesn't.

>> No.4078366

The Y values on the left graph increase as the X values grow more negative, but on the right graph, the Y values decrease as X becomes more negative. I'm pretty sure that zoom isn't the problem.

They're graphing the same function., silly goose.

It depends on how you define x^2/3 for x < 0. Left uses a complex root, right takes the absolute value.

Alright, this is starting to make more sense.

>> No.4078411

So this function wouldn't be differentiable, right, because of the sharp joint at x = 0?

Awesome, thank you
