This works: Plot[{3-Sqrt[5-4x-x^2],3+Sqrt[5-4x-x^2]}, {x, -5, 0}]
This doesn't:
ls := {3-Sqrt[5-4x-x^2],3+Sqrt[5-4x-x^2]}, {x, -5, 0}
Plot[ls, {x,-5,0}]
Somehow, the ls isn't getting taken as the list of two expressions. I
tried both = and := when creating ls, with the identical effect.
Clearly, I'm missing something about syntax. Can someone help me?
