Hello, fellow scientists and students. My question might be very simple to answer: How do I plot the following function
f[x_] := x^4 + a*x^2
where a is a real valued constant for three different values of a? I want to declare this function and then plot a graph with 3 different values for my constant a. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

When you get more elaborate, the order of evaluation matters. Plot apparently needs to peek at complicated arguments to understand what to do. So, this works:
Plot
Plot[Evaluate[Table[Labeled[f[x], a], {a, {1, 30, 100}}]], {x, 0, 3}]
It literally solved all my questions. Thank you so much
Something like:
Plot[Table[f[x], {a, {1, 30, 100}}], {x, 0, 3}]
Thank you, it worked. I am trying to plot the legends alongside the curves, but it's not working since it seems Mathematica interprets like only one function plotted three times. Is there anyway I can plot legends for the constants I am using?
