MATLAB not giving me the desired answer format

I have never had this issue with MATLAB until now. my results are being displayed as follows:

>> syms x

>> f = inline('(2/25)*x^2','x')

f =

Inline function:

f(x) = (2/25)*x^2

>> diff(f(x),x)

ans =

0.1600000000 x

And the format I want is as such:

My MATLAB was dsplaying like the example in the picture before yesterday. Do not understand what happened. Thanks in advance.

Why are you still using inline functions? And what exactly is your question? Do you want to know how to evaluate that expression to a value?

Or is it something to do with the format function?

My question is why is MATLAB displaying my results as shown in the first example, instead of the second example.
