5.32.6 Simplifying: simp2
The simp2 command removes common factors from a pair of
polynomials, as if reducing the numerator and denominator of a
rational function. (See also Section 5.7.6.)
-
simp2 takes two arguments:
P and Q, two polynomials
(or two integers, see Section 5.7.6).
- simp2(P,Q)
returns a list of two polynomials seen as the numerator and
denominator of the irreducible representation of the rational
function P/Q.
Example.
Input:
simp2(x^3-1,x^2-1)
