urFactor [Action][Transformation][factor][rFactor]

Function: Factors an expression up to its roots, if any.

Syntax: rFactor (Exp/Eq/Ineq/List/Mat [ ) ]

Example: To factor x2  3

ufactorOut [Action][Transformation][factor][factorOut]

Function: Factors out an expression with respect to a specified factor.

Syntax: factorOut (Exp/Eq/Ineq/List/Mat, Exp [ ) ]

Example: To factor “a” out ax2 + bx + c

ucombine [Action][Transformation][combine]

Function: Transforms multiple fractions into their common denominator equivalents and reduces them, if possible.

Syntax: combine (Exp/Eq/Ineq/List/Mat [ ) ]

Example: To transform and reduce (x + 1)/(x + 2) + x(x + 3)

ucollect [Action][Transformation][collect]

Function: Rearranges an expression with respect to a specific variable.

Syntax: collect (Exp/Eq/Ineq/List/Mat[,Exp] [ ) ]

• “x” is the default when you omit “[,Exp]”.

Example: To rearrange x2 + ax + bx with respect to x

utExpand [Action][Transformation][tExpand]

Syntax: tExpand(Exp/Eq/Ineq/List/Mat [ ) ]

Example: To expand sin (a + b)

utCollect [Action][Transformation][tCollect]

Function: Employs the product to sum formulas to transform the product of a trigonometric function into an expression in the sum form.

Syntax: tCollect (Exp/Eq/Ineq/List/Mat [ ) ]

Example: To transform cos(a) cos(b) into an expression in the sum form

uexpToTrig [Action][Transformation][expToTrig]

Function: Transforms an exponent into a trigonometric or hyperbolic function.

Syntax: expToTrig (Exp/Eq/Ineq/List/Mat [ ) ]

Example: To transform eix into a trigonometric function (Radian mode)

utrigToExp [Action][Transformation][trigToExp]

Function: Transforms a trigonometric or hyperbolic function into exponential form.
