Syntax

• R = simplify(S)
  

Description

simplify(S) simplifies each element of the symbolic matrix S using Maple simplification rules.

Examples

simplify(sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2) returns

• 1
  

simplify(exp(c*log(sqrt(a+b)))) returns

• (a+b)^(1/2*c)
  

The statements

• S = [(x^2+5*x+6)/(x+2),sqrt(16)];
  R = simplify(S)
  

return

• R = [x+3,4]
