MATLAB: Error Using Plot for single variable function

MATLABplot

I am trying to plot the function Rv(f) and then theta(f). However, whenever I run it I get "Error using plot
Data must be numeric, datetime, duration or an array convertible to double."
Any help would be appreciated.
syms   f
% Physical properties of the bar
V0 = 1;
R = 1000;
L = 470*10^(-6);
C = 120*10^(-12);
Rv(f) = (V0*R)/sqrt(R^(2)+(2*pi*f*L-1/(2*pi*f*C))^(2));
theta(f) = atan(((1/(2*pi*f*C))-2*pi*f*L)/R);
x1 = 0:1000:4000000;
% Calculate the inital distribution (almost)
plot(x1,Rv(f))
    xlabel('x');
    grid on
    grid minor
    pause(0.01)

Best Answer

There are two ways.
1. use fplot
syms   f
% Physical properties of the bar

V0 = 1;
R = 1000;
L = 470*10^(-6);
C = 120*10^(-12);
Rv(f) = (V0*R)/sqrt(R^(2)+(2*pi*f*L-1/(2*pi*f*C))^(2));
theta(f) = atan(((1/(2*pi*f*C))-2*pi*f*L)/R);
x1 = 0:1000:4000000;
% Calculate the inital distribution (almost)

fplot(Rv(f), [0 4000000])
xlabel('x');
grid on
grid minor
pause(0.01)
2. using function handle
syms   f
% Physical properties of the bar
V0 = 1;
R = 1000;
L = 470*10^(-6);
C = 120*10^(-12);
Rv(f) = (V0*R)/sqrt(R^(2)+(2*pi*f*L-1/(2*pi*f*C))^(2));
theta(f) = atan(((1/(2*pi*f*C))-2*pi*f*L)/R);
x1 = 0:1000:4000000;
Rvf = matlabFunction(Rv);
% Calculate the inital distribution (almost)
plot(x1,Rvf(x1))
xlabel('x');
grid on
grid minor
pause(0.01)
