How to graph a logistic equation using tikz












4














I am not sure why this doesn't work. At first I thought the issue was x values close to zero. So I broke it up into two separate graphs that ignored x values close to zero. I have tried copying code snippets form others. Theirs works (using different function to graph), but mine does not.



The error I get is:! PGF Math Error: p' orp(' in {2500*exp(0.05*-10.0)/(100+25*(exp(0.05*-10.0)-1))}')



documentclass{standalone}

usepackage{tikz}

begin{document}

begin{center}
begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.1]
draw [<->,very thick] (0,-10) -- (0,100) node [above] {$y$};
draw [<->,very thick] (-10,0) -- (160,0) node [right] {$x$};
draw [domain=-10:160,samples=1000] plot (x,{2500*exp(0.05*x)/(100+25*(exp(0.05*x)-1))});
end{tikzpicture}
end{center}

          It is because the dimension is too large to plot. A work around is to rewrite the function to be plotted in a way that it won't cause dimension too large error.
