You need to leave a space between n and x to indicate multiplication. "nx"
is a new single symbol composed of two characters and has no relation to the
"n" in the control.

Hi, I am very new to Mathematica. I have the following problem -
following the tutorial I type in:

Manipulate[Plot[Sin[nx], {x, 0, 2 Pi}], {n, 1, 10}]

and I get a blank plot - the axes show, so is the slider but no plot.

On the other hand (also following the tutorial):

Manipulate[Expand[(1 + x)^n], {n, 0, 100, 1}]

works as it should.

Could you please explain what is happening?

Thanks,
Dean
