symb toolbox newby?

It was suggested to me that I use the symb toolbox to visualize (plot) the solutions to algebraic equations. In the simplest form I would like to plot solutions to eqns such as r = 1-exp(-R*t) with limits from 0 to 100 for t.

I (think) the reason the toolbox is preferred is bc I will call upon 'r' as a variable with more complicated equations.

Ok, so what is your question? Are you looking for a complete tutorial on the symbolic toolbox? How is it easier for us to re-write the documentation for a complete toolbox, so that you can read it here, instead of reading the existing, professionally written documentation?

You will need to read the help docs for the symbolic toolbox. There are lots of examples. Start with the getting started tutorials for that toolbox if you are a complete newbie.

At some point, you will be looking at the help for tools like solve, and perhaps matlabfunction. Personally, I've always found ezplot to be quite capable too.

Quick point that ezplot is not recommended anymore. Instead fplot is recommended. I'm glad the doc is considered helpful :)

Please start with the Symbolic Getting Started: https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/getting-started-with-symbolic-math-toolbox.html. It walks you through the basics and shows basic plots.
