usimplify
Function: Simplifies an expression.
Syntax: simplify (Exp/Eq/Ineq/List/Mat [ ) ]
•Ineq (inequality) includes the “≠” (not equal to) relational operator. Example: To simplify (15 3 + 26)^(1/3)
Menu Item: [Action][Transformation][simplify]
Example: To simplify cos(2x) + (sin(x))2 (in the Radian mode)
Menu Item: [Action][Transformation][simplify]
uexpand
Function: Expands an expression.
Syntax: expand (Exp/Eq/Ineq/List/Mat [ ) ]
expand (Exp,variable [ ) ]
•Ineq (inequality) includes the “≠” (not equal to) relational operator.
•If you specify a variable, Exp is decomposed into partial fractions, with respect to the variable.
Example: To expand (x + 2)2
Menu Item: [Action][Transformation][expand]
1 | into partial fractions, with respect to x |
Example: To decompose (x4 – 1) |
Menu Item: [Action][Transformation][expand]
ufactor
Function: Factors an expression.
Syntax: factor (Exp/Eq/Ineq/List/Mat [ ) ]
•Ineq (inequality) includes the “≠” (not equal to) relational operator. Example: To factor x2 4x + 4
