Hi all; I'm brand new to sage and am finding it really fun and useful. Of course, I don't know anyone else who uses it and thus need to rely on the general community when reading documentation and scratching my head leave me with open questions. Here's my first:
sage: foo = (x-1)^2/(x+2)^2 + 2*(x-1)/(x+2) sage: bar = foo*(x+2) sage: bar (x + 2)*((x - 1)^2/(x + 2)^2 + 2*(x - 1)/(x + 2)) How come (x+2) isn't canceling in each of the parts? It does simplify if I multiply each additive part of foo separately: sage: foo1 = (x-1)^2/(x+2)^2 sage: bar1 = foo1*(x+2) sage: bar1 (x - 1)^2/(x + 2) sage: foo2 = 2*(x-1)/(x+2) sage: bar2 = foo2*(x+2) sage: bar2 2*x - 2 Any help would be much appreciated! -Doug --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
