Need help using fft to create a real spectre

Hi, I'm new to using MatLab, and in an exercise I have a problem. I have this code that has 2 signals, the modulated signal, and the parasitic signal. In the end I have to figure the spectrum without the imaginary frequencies of the composite signals.
ts=12000; ta=1/12000; T=0.02;
t=0:ta:T-ta;
tt=0:ta:T*8-ta;
A1=0.4; A2=0.3;
f1=100; f2=330;
x1=A1*sin(2*pi*f1*t);
x2=A2*sin(2*pi*f2*t);
s=[x1,x2,x1,x1,x2,x2,x1,x2];
y=sawtooth(2*pi*200*tt);
y=(y+1)/10;
w=s+y;
subplot(3,1,1);
sampleTimeMs = linspace(0,160,length(s));
plot(sampleTimeMs,s);
title("Modulated Signal");
xlabel("t[ms]");
ylabel("A[V]");
yticks([-0.4 -0.3 0.3 0.4]);
grid on;
subplot(3,1,2);
sampleTimeMs = linspace(0,160,length(y));
plot(sampleTimeMs, y)
title("Parasitic Signal");
xlabel("t[ms]");
ylabel("A[V]");
yticks([0 0.2]);
grid on;
subplot(3,1,3);
sampleTimeMs = linspace(0,160,length(w));
plot(sampleTimeMs, w)
title("Added Signals");
xlabel("t[ms]");
ylabel("A[V]");
yticks([-0.4 -0.3 0.3 0.4 0.5]);
grid on;
figure;
Y=abs(fft(w));
plot(t,Y)
.I know that i should use half of the sampling frequency(6000), but i dont know how or where to put that value.

Hi,
FFT for any signal has real and imaginary party, if input signal is even then fft is real and for odd signal fft is imaginary, so for composite signals fft has both real and imaginary signals
To observe real part of fft, use
>>Y=real(fft(w));
To observe imaginary part of fft, use
>>Y=imag(fft(w));
To observe both use abs to fft
>>Y=abs(fft(w));
To change the sampling frequency in the code change ta
ta=1/6000
Use the following to plot fft
t1 = linspace(-pi,pi,length(s)); % frequency spectrum is either -pi to pi or 0 to 2*pi
Y=real(fft(w));
