Simple question but I can't find the answer.
I want to combine a ListLinePlot and a regular Plot (of a function) onto one plot. How do I do this?
Thanks.

Graphing A Function Rule To graph a function, you have to select x-values and plug them into the equation. Once you plug those values into the equation, you will get a y-value. Your x-values and your y-values make up your coordinates for a single point.
Two common ways of representing the graph of a function of two variables are the surface plot and the contour plot. The first is simply a representation of the graph in three-dimensional space. The second, draws the level curves f(x,y)=C for several values of C in the x,y -plane.
Use Show, e.g.
Show[Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3.5}], ListPlot[{1, 4, 9}]]
Note, if plot options conflict Show uses the first plot's option, unless the option is specified in Show. I.e.
Show[Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3.5}, ImageSize -> 100],
ListPlot[{1, 4, 9}, ImageSize -> 400]]
shows a combined plot of size 100.
Show[Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 3.5}, ImageSize -> 100],
ListPlot[{1, 4, 9}, ImageSize -> 400], ImageSize -> 300]
Shows a combined plot of size 300.

An alternative to using Show and combining two separate plots, is to use Epilog to add the data points to the main plot. For example:
data = Table[{i, Sin[i] + .1 RandomReal[]}, {i, 0, 10, .5}];
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, Epilog -> Point[data], PlotRange -> All]
or
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, Epilog -> Line[data], PlotRange -> All]
