How to plot Carrier and Message Signal

The first picture is the equation for carrier signal and the 2nd one is the message signal.
The ampltitudes for both (Ac and Am are 1), and the frequency for the carrier (fc) is given by the user, whereas the frequency for the message (fm) is 0.02.
However, I'm unsure in how to plot these two signals on top of each other. Am I doing the interval for the fplot correctly?
fc = input('carrier frequency')
fm = 0.02 %Hz
Ac = 1;
Am = 1;
Ta = 1/fc; %period for carrier
Tc = 1/fm;
m = @(t) Am*cos(2*pi*fm*t);
S = @(t) Ac*cos(2*pi*fc*t);
subplot(3, 1 ,1);
fplot(S, [0 Ta]);
subplot(3, 1, 2);
fplot(m, [0 Tc]);

Try something like this :
clear variables
close all
fc = input('carrier frequency')
fm = 4 %Hz
Ac = 1;
Am = 1;
Ta = 1/fc; %period for carrier
Tc = 1/fm;
N = 200;
t0 = -2;
t1 = 2;
t = t0:(t1-t0)/(N-1):t1;
m = Am*cos(2*pi*fm*t);
S = Ac*cos(2*pi*fc*t);
plot(t,S,'linewidth',2,'color','r')
hold on
plot(t,m,'linewidth',2,'color','b')
legend('S(t)','M(t)')
a= title('Carrier and Message Signals');
set(a,'fontsize',14);
a= xlabel('t [-2\pi 2\pi]');
set(a,'fontsize',20);
a = ylabel('y');
set(a,'fontsize',20);
a = zlabel('z');
set(a,'fontsize',20);
grid
grid minor
