Plotting Mode Shapes/ Wave Function

I am trying to plot modes shapes, but my plot keeps appearing blank and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Specifically, I am trying to plot position(x) as my x-axis, displacement(u) as my y-axis, and get a plot that appears sinusoidal. I have tried setting x = 1:0.5:5, but then I just get an error. What can I do to get this code to display a wave function like it should?
clear all;
format long;
im = sqrt(-1);
CellLength = 1;
ibeta = 1;
%Define materal properties
CellLength = 1;
layers = 2;
d1 = 0.4;
d2 = 0.6;
dTotal = d1+d2;
Ef = 12;
pf = 3;
cf = sqrt(Ef/pf);
Em = 1;
pm = 1;
cm = sqrt(Em/pm);
w = 5;
T1 = [cos(.2*w) (1/(6*w))*sin(.2*w); -6*w*sin(.2*w) cos(.2*w)];
T2 = [cos(.6*w) (1/w)*sin(.6*w); -w*sin(.6*w) cos(.6*w)];
T = T2*T1;
%Solve eigenvalue problem for k
[V,D] = eig(T);
k1 = log(D(1,1))/(im*dTotal);
k2 = log(D(2,2))/(im*dTotal);
B1 = [1 1; im*6*w -im*6*w];
a1 = inv(B1)*V(:,1);
x = 1;
u = [exp(im*k1*x) exp(-im*k1*x)]*a1;
plot(x,real(u))

Replace last three lines by:
x = 1:0.5:5;
u = [exp(im*k1*x); exp(-im*k1*x)].*a1;
plot(x,real(u),'r')
