Nothing per se. By default (eg section 1.9.1 of online help), Plot tries
isolate the most interesting part of the graph. Most recently, this was
discussed in [mg43637] -- 2 weeks ago.
To see everything, you need to use
Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 100}, PlotRange->All];
This can be further customised using
Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 100}, PlotRange->{{-20, 120}, All}]; or
Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 100}, PlotRange->{All, {-20, 100}];
Regards,
Dave.
