Modifiers |
Modifiers are special words that you can type after a keyword to modify the operation of the keyword. The following describes the available modifiers and indicates which keywords you can use them with.
| Modifier | Purpose | Keywords That Use the Modifier |
| ALL | Apply to all variables in the expression | assume, explicit |
| atan | Combine expressions using identities for inverse tangent function | combine |
| complex | Specify that a variable is a complex number, or that an operation is performed over the complex numbers | assume, factor, parfrac |
| degree | Return a second column in the output of "coeffs" containing the degrees of the terms | coeffs |
| domain | Specify the domain of a variable | assume, factor, parfrac |
| exp | Combine or rewrite expressions using identities for the exponential function | combine, rewrite |
| fully | Return a detailed solution to an equation | All - see Special Modifiers |
| integer | Specify that a variable is an integer | assume |
| ln | Combine or rewrite expressions using identities for the logarithmic function | combine, rewrite |
| log | Combine or rewrite expressions using identities for the logarithmic function | combine, rewrite |
| raw | Return results in unsimplified form | assume, factor, parfrac |
| real | Specify that a variable is a real number, or that an operation is performed over the real numbers | assume, factor |
| RealRange | Specify that a variable is in a range of real numbers | assume |
| sincos | Combine or rewrite expressions using identities for sine and cosine | combine, rewrite |
| sinhcosh | Combine or rewrite expressions using identities for hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine | combine, rewrite |
| using | Replace a generated variable in the solution to an equation | All - see Special Modifiers |

The modifiers "fully" and "using" can be used as keywords on their own. You can use also use them, on a separate line, in combination with other keywords. See Quicksheet: Symbolic Solutions of Equations for examples.
