fplot gives empty figure, while explot works

If I run the code below on 2016a, I get a nice plot from ezplot but an empty figure from fplot. I'm new to the symbolic math toolbox...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

---------

syms x 
t1 = x / 5;
distance = sqrt(120^2 + (140-x)^2);
t2  = distance / 3;
timeTot = t1 + t2;

% this works fine
ezplot(timeTot,[0 140])
% this gives an empty figure
figure, fplot(timeTot,[0 140])

What version of MATLAB are you using?

Both of the plots work for me in R2017b.

Thanks for the question.

I was able to reproduce this behaviour in the R2016a release - this looks like a bug. This seems to have been fixed from the R2016b release onward.
