Hi Felippe,
I am not sure if you want to Plot just one function with a specific a or
several with different a. Let's try one single a:
f[x_]:=x (a+Log[x])^2;
a=1;
If[a>0,Plot[f[x],{x,0,2}]]
If we have several a's, we may try:
f[a_,x_]:=x (a+Log[x])^2;
Plot[Evaluate[Table[f[a,x],{a,0,2}]],{x,0,2}]
the Evaluate is necessary to speed things up, otherwise the Table
command is executed for every point.
Of course this works with other formulas too.
hope this helps, Daniel
