Why my graph is not corelating with my calculations

my equation is

exp(x)-(x+1)/(x-1)

Once i plot it with

> x=0:.01:3;
>>  y=exp(x)-(x+1)/(x-1);
>> plot(x,y)

I get strange graph

For example at x=0 the equation says that y=2

but plot is showing close to -.5

why it is so??

Answer 1

There is a difference between "/" and "./". You want ./

y=exp(x)-(x+1)./(x-1);

Answer 2

Ok thanks daniel

I have calculated one root of this equation as

-1.5433

Is it correct answer can u check through matlab
