Simplifying Expressions

To algebraically simplify an expression, select the entire expression and either:

Then press [Enter].

The simplify command simplifies expressions using algebraic, trigonometric, and exponential function identities, and simplifies square roots and powers.

Examples:

(x−3)2 + 4x2 − 2x + 1  simplify → 5 · x2 − 8 · x + 10

x2 + 7x +10 simplify → (x + 2) · (x + 5)

(a + b) · (a − b) simplify → a2 − b2

sin(x)2 + cos(x)2 simplify → 1

2sin(x) · cos(x) simplify → sin(2 · x)

e2x · e5y simplify → e2·x+5·y
