I specifically mentioned not to post a picture and you posted a picture. Smh.
Copy paste the text of the code.
And "And copy paste your full error message, that means all of the red text."

Looks like you are working on an older version of MATLAB, as your code runs without an error on R2021b.
1 - Use f directly to find the derivative of the function.
2 - Since x is already defined as a symolic variable, you do not need to use sym() for defining ytangent and ynormal.
3 - Additionally, the variable m and the equations ytangent and ynormal are constant, which they shouldn't be, as x0 is not a fixed value/point. Modify the values accordingly.
5 - You might want to rearrange the text on the plot.
