Consequently, the If statement is returned unevaluated. >And all suggestions also did not work at all for my new Function, >f[a_][x_] := (x/E^(ax)); >Plot[Table[f[a, x], {a, 0, 2}], {x, 0, 3}] >What am i doing wrong ? Simply put you are not being consistent. If you define f using the form f[a_][x_] then you need to use this form when plotting. That is, f[a_][x_] := (x/E^(ax)); Plot[Table[f[a][x], {a, 0, 2}], {x, 0, 3}] should give you the plot you are expecting. Or you could get the same result with f[a_, x_] := (x/E^(ax)); Plot[Table[f[a, x], {a, 0, 2}], {x, 0, 3}] Notice, I use the same form for Plot as I used to define the function.
