Your code doesn't do what you think it does. You could see that by looking at your variables: they have become scalars, instead of vectors.
What you should do is take advantage of the array processing you can do with Matlab (with logical indexing), or use indexing in your loop.
t = [-5:50]
y = NaN(size(t))
L= t>=-5 & t<=0;
y(L)=0;
L=t>=0 & n<=8;
y(L)=10*t(L).^2-5*t(L);
L=t>=8 & t<=16;
y(L)=624-5*t(L);
L=t>=16 & t<=26;
y(L)=36*t(L)+12*(t(L)-16)^2;
L=t>=26 & t<=50;
y(L)=2136*exp(-0.1*(t(L)-26));
figure(1)
plot(t,y)
xlabel('time');ylabel('v(t)')

and if i want to make 'for if' function to my problems , can you help me to solve that base on my problem

@arham zakki edelo — Rik’s code uses ‘logical indexing’, the most efficient way to do this problem.
If you want to continue with your for loop and if block, try this:
t = -5:50;
for n =1:length(t)
if (t(n)>=-5&t(n)<=0);
y1(n)=zeros;
t1(n) = t(n);
elseif (t(n)>=0&t(n)<=8);
y2(n)=10*n.^2-5*t(n);
t2(n) = t(n);
elseif (t(n)>=8&t(n)<=16);
y3(n)=624-5*t(n);
t3(n) = t(n);
elseif (t(n)>=16&t(n)<=26);
y4(n)=36*n+12*(t(n)-16)^2;
t4(n) = t(n);
else (t(n)>=26&t(n)<=50);
y5(n)=2136*exp(-0.1*(t(n)-26));
t5(n) = t(n);
end
end
figure(1)
plot(t1,y1, t2(t2>0),y2(t2>0), t3(t3>0),y3(t3>0), t4(t4>0),y4(t4>0), t5(t5>0),y5(t5>0))
xlabel('time')
ylabel('v(t)')
Then go back and un-accept the Comment that you accepted as an Answer, and accept Rik’s Answer that actually provided you with working code.
Experiment to get the result you want.

What was your question and what are you trying to do? It is not quite clear from your Code
