TransformationFunctions

Usage
Notes
Further Examples

Built-in transformation functions together with RootReduce are used to simplify this expression.

In[1]:=  

In[2]:=  

Out[2]=

The function ff gets rid of coefficients that are manifestly numbers.

In[3]:=  

In[4]:=  

Here Simplify uses only ff and no other functions to transform e2.

In[5]:=  

In[6]:=  

Out[6]=

Using NumericQ instead of NumberQ will also get rid of symbolic constants like  .

In[7]:=  

In[8]:=  

In[9]:=  

Out[9]=

Here is a number.

In[10]:=  

FullSimplify is unable to simplify e3.

In[11]:=  

Out[11]=

Using the transformation function hh shows that e3 is equal to  .

In[12]:=  

In[13]:=  

In[14]:=  

Out[14]=

Here is another number that FullSimplify cannot simplify to  .

In[15]:=  

Built­in transformation functions together with the function kk show that e4 is equal to  .

In[16]:=  

In[17]:=  

Out[17]=

This number likewise reduces to 0 with the help of kk.

In[18]:=  

Out[18]=

Here is another number that FullSimplify is unable to simplify to  .

In[19]:=  

Simplify quickly returns  using the transformation function rr.

In[20]:=  

In[21]:=  

In[22]:=  

Out[22]=

The following implies that the use of rr is legitimate in this case.

In[23]:=  

Out[23]=

In[24]:=  

Out[24]=

Let us verify that  . Sometimes it is easier for FullSimplify to show that two expressions are equal by showing that their difference is 0. This first attempt does not work.

In[25]:=  

In[26]:=  

Out[26]=

Built-in transformation functions together with mm show that e6 is equal to  .

In[27]:=  

In[28]:=  

Out[28]=

The use of mm is legitimate since n is an integer.

In[29]:=  

Out[29]=

In[30]:=
