Question: Problem when evaluating function

I am examining the curve given by

y=R(x/L)^n

When I put this in and assign a number to any one variable, Maple always returns

 

y=0.8660254038

I have tried changing the names of the variables, unnassigning variables, restarting Maple, etc. but I cannot plot a function of y with x, I always get y=0.8660254038, even with only one variable assigned to a value.  I am using the student version of Maple 17.

 

Thanks,

David
