I love function handles in matlab, I can do this for example:
f = @(x,a,b) a*(x.^b);
plot(x,f(x,a,b));
This is so useful! I want to be able to plot log(y)=1+log(x), I tried:
f = @(x) 1+log10(x);
plot(x,f(log10(f(x));
It doesn't however give a straight line, so this syntax might be wrong! Please tell me how I can do it. Thanks.

is this what you are after?
clc
close all
warning off
z = @(x) 10.^(-.3+(1.75*log10(x)));
y = @(x) (10.^-.3)*(x.^1.75);
x = -100:0.5:100;
plot(x,z(x),'-b','LineWidth',2)
grid on
figure
loglog(x,y(x),'-r','LineWidth',2)
grid on
.

try this
f = @(x) 1+log10(x)
x=[-20:.1:20]
y=f(x)
plot(x,y)
plot(x,y);grid on

The quantity f(log10(f(x)) does not yield the solution to log10(y) = 1 + log10(x). It is actually equal to
f(log10(f(x)) = f(log10(1+log10(x))) = 1+log10(log10(1+log10(x)))
If you were to take the log10 of that, you certainly would not come back to 1+log10(x).
To solve for y, take 10 to the power of both sides of the equation
y = 10^(log10(y)) = 10^(1+log10(x)) = (10^1)*(10^log10(x)) = 10*x
What could be simpler?

lol sorry i gave a simple example, but honestly are u telling me i can't plot that equation and get the same graph shown in matlab?

The plot you show in your previous comment plots log(y) against log(x) or log10(y) against log10(x), I’m not sure which. With the equation log(y) = -.3+1.75*log(x) you will naturally get a straight line with this kind of plot. However, that is not the same thing as plotting y against x. For the equation log(y) = -.3+1.75*log(x) you will NOT get a straight line with y against x. For the equation log(y) = 1 + log(x), or log10’s either one, you WILL get a straight line with y against x. The present or absence of the factor 1.75 makes the difference.
Incidentally you should be careful to distinguish between logarithms base ten and natural logarithms with a base e. In matlab the natural logarithm is indicated by ‘log’ whereas logarithm base ten is indicated by ‘log10’.
