The key here is understanding exactly what x[0] is: it's not a rational. If you run your code (after adding the line "set_random_seed(3)" at the start to make sure we're working with the same matrices), you see: sage: minx, maxx, miny, maxy (+Infinity, (3), +Infinity, (21/5)) and the odd parenth

The "range" function is a Python one, and it returns Python ints. Python ints have truncating division, so that 3/2 = 1, not 3/2. When you type 3/2 at the Sage command, it's preparsed to be Sage Integers: sage: 3/2 3/2 sage: preparse("3/2") 'Integer(3)/Integer(2)' sage: int(3)/int(2) 1 sage: 3r/2r
