Wrong x-axis intersection

Show all headers | View raw

Hi. I was trying to plot the following function:

-0.9+9.638x^(-1.394)

by using the command

plot y=-0.9+9.638x**(-1.394)

The problem is that the intersection with the x-axis (y=0) should be at 
around x=5.47, but the function's plot just approaches y=0 as an asymptote.

When I try to plot it with Maxima, the intersection is correct.

Is there something wrong in the syntax of the command? Thanks.
