EXPAND

 

 

 

 

Type:

Command

 

 

Description:

Expands and simplifies an algebraic expression. This command is similar to the EXPAN

 

command (which is included to ensure backwardcompa tibility with the HP 48series calculators),

 

except that EXPAND does more a more indepth analys is and often does a better job at

 

simplifying an expression than EXPAN.

 

 

Access:

Algebra, …×or PALG

 

 

Input:

An expression, or an array of expressions.

 

 

Output:

The expanded and simplified expression or array of expressions.

 

Flags:

Exact mode must be set (flag –105 clear).

 

 

 

Numeric mode must not be set (flag –3 clear).

 

 

 

Radians mode must be set (flag –17 set).

 

 

Example:

Simplify the following expression:

 

 

 

(x2 + 2x + 1)

 

 

 

-------------------------------

 

 

 

 

x + 1

 

 

Command:

EXPAND((X^2+2*X+1)/(X+1))

 

 

Result:

X+1

EXPANDMOD

 

 

 

 

Type:

Function

 

 

Description:

Expands and simplifies an algebraic expression, or an array of expressions, modulo the current

 

modulus.

 

 

Access:

MODULO

 

 

Input:

An expression, or an array of expressions.

 

 

Output:

The expanded and simplified expression, or array of expressions, modulo the current modulus.

Flags:

Exact mode must be set (flag –105 clear).

 

 

 

Numeric mode must not be set (flag –3 clear).

 

 

 

Radians mode must be set (flag –17 set).

 

 

Example: Expand the following expression and give the result modulo 3:

(x + 3)( x + 4)

Command: EXPANDMOD((X+3)*(X+4))

Result: X^2+X
