I have been looking at other posts and have modified my code accordingly, but I still can't get it to work. I think there is an issue that has not been addressed in any of the posts that I have found. However, I don't know what the issue is, so I can't make a specific inquiry.

 begintikzpicture
 beginaxis[xmax = 4,ymax = 3,samples = 50]
 draw[black, smooth, variable=x] plot (x,sqrt(1 - 4(x - frac12)^2);
 endaxis
 endtikzpicture

  Welcome to TeX.SE! If you go this way, the x must be a x, i.e. draw[black, smooth, variable=x] plot (x,sqrt(1 - 4*(x - 1/2)^2);, and you may want to add an appropriate domain. However, since you seem to use pgfplots, use addplot sqrt(1-4*(x-1/2)^2);.

OK, this is too long for a comment. There are several issues:

• You say variable=x but one x does not have a backslash.


• You need to add multiplication signs.


• You cannot use frac in an expression that is going to be parsed. frac is used to typeset fractions.

Altogether, the expression should be (I guess) sqrt(1 - 4*(x - 1/2)^2. However, as you are using an axis environment, I think you are loading pgfplots, so I'd suggest

documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]standalone
usepackagepgfplots
pgfplotssetcompat=1.16
begindocument
begintikzpicture
beginaxis[xmax = 4,ymax = 3,samples = 50]
 addplot[black, smooth,domain=0:1] sqrt(1 - 4*(x - 1/2)^2;
endaxis
endtikzpicture
enddocument

  @RafaelVergnaud This is due to xmax = 4,ymax = 3,. If you drop these, the plot is centered, and also if you make xmin and so on symmetric around the center.

  Hey marmot! I mean on the pdf document. I did switch ymax to 4! Adding xmin did not center the plot of the pdf! It is still on the left hand margin of the pdf. If it's a hassle, I'll just leave it. It's no big deal!

  @RafaelVergnaud This is due to xmax = 4,ymax = 3,. If you drop these, the plot is centered, and also if you make xmin and so on symmetric around the center.

  Hey marmot! I mean on the pdf document. I did switch ymax to 4! Adding xmin did not center the plot of the pdf! It is still on the left hand margin of the pdf. If it's a hassle, I'll just leave it. It's no big deal!

  @RafaelVergnaud The above document is standalone, so I thought you want to center the curve. If you want to center the plot in a figure in an article document, say, you could use centering.

  My very last question, which should be brief to answer, is how do I move the plot from the left margin of the pdf to the center of pdf?
