Can anyone give me a clue on how to plot this function:

It can be with any package, as the ones I've tried to use don't work (pgfplots gives me TeX capacity exceeded, sorry), my attempts with other packages aren't even remotely working :(

The graph only has to be in between 0 and 10. Also, is there any way to put a table with the values next to the graph?

Thanks for your help..

documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}

usepackage{pgfplots}

pgfplotsset{compat=1.16}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}[declare function={myexp(x)=4*(x-1)*exp(-0.5*x)+8;}]

begin{axis}

addplot [domain=0:5] {myexp(x)};

end{axis}

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

And of course it is possible to add the range from 1 to 10, and to add a table. (You added these requests only after I answer was there.)

documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}

usetikzlibrary{matrix,calc}

usepackage{pgfplots}

pgfplotsset{compat=1.16}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}[declare function={myexp(x)=4*(x-1)*exp(-0.5*x)+8;}]

begin{axis}

addplot [domain=0:10,samples=101] {myexp(x)};

end{axis}

matrix[matrix of math nodes,anchor=north west,%

column 1/.style={align=right,text width=5mm},

column 2/.style={align=left,text width=8mm}] (mat) at ([xshift=0.2cm]current axis.north

east) {%

9 & pgfmathparse{myexp(9)}pgfmathprintnumber{pgfmathresult}\ 

10 & pgfmathparse{myexp(10)}pgfmathprintnumber{pgfmathresult}\ 

};

draw ($(mat-1-1.south west)!0.5!(mat-2-1.north west)$) -- 

($(mat-1-2.south east)!0.5!(mat-2-2.north east)$);

draw ($(mat-1-1.north east)!0.5!(mat-1-2.north west)$) -- 

($(mat-12-1.south east)!0.5!(mat-12-2.south west)$);

end{tikzpicture}

Note that you can also generate the table in a foreach loop, but I am not going to spell this out here.

run with xelatex

If you know R, then knitr is a simple option:

documentclass{article}

begin{document}

<<echo=F,dev="tikz",fig.cap="My function $f(t)=4(t-1)e^{-0.5t}+8$", fig.width=5, fig.height=5, out.width = "\linewidth">>=

t <- seq(0,10,.1)

y <- 4*(t-1)*exp(-0.5*t)+8

plot(t,y,type='l',col='navy', lwd=3,ylab="f(t)",las=1,frame.plot = F, cex.lab=1.2)

@

end{document}

R could also produce the table easily, but place it beside the figure need some tuning of R and LaTeX code:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{booktabs}

begin{document}

begin{figure}

<<xxx, echo=F,dev="tikz", fig.show='hide', fig.width=3, fig.height=3,  out.width = "3in",  out.height="3in">>=

t <- seq(0,10,.1)

y <- 4*(t-1)*exp(-0.5*t)+8

par(mar=c(4.5,4.5,0.5,0))

plot(t,y,type='l',col='navy', lwd=3,ylab="f(t)",las=1,frame.plot = F, cex.lab=1.2)

@

begin{minipage}[t]{3in}vspace{0pt}

includegraphics{figure/xxx-1}

end{minipage}hfill%

begin{minipage}[t]{.2linewidth}smallskip

<<echo=F,results='asis'>>=

x <- seq(0,10)

y <- 4*(x-1)*exp(-0.5*x)+8

df <- data.frame(t=x,f=y)

names(df) <- c("t (time)","Function f(t)")

library(xtable)

print(xtable(df,align=rep("c",3)), include.rownames=F,floating=F, booktabs=T)

@

end{minipage}

caption{My function $f(t)=4(t-1)e^{-0.5t}+8$} 

end{figure}
