Don't do this. f_1 is interpreted by Mathematica as something
named f with Head 1 and is definitely not a subscribed variable.
You cannot use an underscore in names with Mathematica.
Also, did you notice the color of the f when you typed f_2? It
wasn't blue (the default color of a undefined global name was
it? That should be a big hint you are doing something wrong.
getting rid of the underscores:
f1[x_, y_] = Integrate[2*y + x^2, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, x}];
f2[x_, y_, Q_] = Integrate[2*y + x^2*Q, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, x}];
fTotal[x_, y_, Q_] = f1[x, y] + f2[x, y, Q];
dataxx = Table[{Q, fTotal[x, y, Q]}, {Q, 0, 10, 0.0025}];
ListPlot[dataxx]
will generate the expected plot.
But since both f1 and f2 evaluate to simple expressions and
assuming x, y have not been assigned values, then the following
code generates the same plot more efficiently
f1 = Integrate[2*y + x^2, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, x}];
f2 = Integrate[2*y + x^2*Q, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, x}];
Plot[f1+f2, {Q, 0, 10}]
One other thing. Mathematica has several built-in things that
are named with a single uppercase letter. So, it is wise to get
in the habit of not using single uppercase letters as variables.
That avoids conflict with built-in functions and likely will
save you a lot of grief debugging your code.
