6.36.1 Dividing by increasing power order: divpc
The divpc command finds the truncated Taylor expansion of a
quotient of polynomials.
-
divpc takes three mandatory arguments and one
optional argument:
-
P and Q, two polynomial expressions such that Q has a
nonzero constant term/
- n, an integer.
- Optionally, x, the variable name (by default x).
- divpc(P,Q,n ⟨,x⟩) returns the Taylor expansion of
P/Q of order n about x=0.
Note that this command does not work on polynomials written
as a list of coefficients.
Example.
Input:
divpc(1+x^2+x^3,1+x^2,5)
Output:
