Hmm. Maxima 5.22.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net using Lisp ECL 10.4.1 Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING. Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter. The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information. (%i1) radcan((2*x^2/(x^2+1)-1)/sqrt(-4*x^2/(x^2+1)^2+1) ); (%o1) 1 (%i2) radcan(((2*x^2-x^2-1)/(x^2+1))/sqrt((x^2-1)^2/(x^2+1)^2)); 2 x - 1 (%o2) -------- ! 2 ! !x - 1! (%i3) radcan(((x^2-1)*x/(x^2+1)^2-x/(x^2+1))/sqrt(-(x^2-1)^2/(x^2 + 1)^2 + 1) ); x (%o3) - --------------- 2 (x + 1) abs(x)
I don't have access to a current Maxima, but if someone could check this out in 5.23.2 or whatever the latest is, that would be really great. Then we'd have to file a bug report there. Certainly the behavior should be similar for these. - kcrisman -- 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org
