I was reading through the documentation at 

    http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/plot/plot.html

and came across this section that makes no sense.  

*****

When the labels have quite different orders of magnitude or are very large, 
scientific notation (the e notation for powers of ten) is used:

sage: plot(x^2,(x,480,500))  # no scientific notation

 sage: plot(x^2,(x,300,500))  # scientific notation on y-axis

****

How are those two plot commands different in a way that will give scientific 
notation on the y-axis?

What I was looking to find, which I didn't find, was how to turn off the ticks 
and numbers on the axes.  

I am having my Calc I class graph f(x) = x^3 + 6x^2 - 135x, the most reasonable 
cubic function with integral intercepts and extrema.  I want to put the graph 
up on the screen without giving away the answers.  

Suggestions?

Thanks, 

Brad
