Zach,
I have the feeling something is still missing. It doesn't make sense
to me to plot both the function as it goes from 200 to 300 deg and as
it goes from 300 to 200 deg. Those two are each others mirror image.
Anyway, you should change e in E or in escape-ee-escape, because
lowercase e doesn't have a built-in value.
Generally, to plot a function f(t) you'd write
Plot[f[t],{t, startingValue,endValue}].
In your case
Plot[1-E^0.5*(250-T),{T,250,300}]
BTW, are you sure about the parentheses? Not 1-E^(0.5*(250-T)) by any
chance?
Perhaps you intended time to enter the equation and forgot it?
Cheers -- Sjoerd

uld like to plot a decrease in temp of T = 300 to 200.
