11.6.6 Simplifying
The simp2 command removes
common factors from a pair of polynomials, as if reducing the
numerator and denominator of a rational function.
(See also Section 7.2.6.)
-
simp2 takes two arguments:
P and Q, two polynomials
(or two integers, see Section 7.2.6).
- simp2(P,Q)
returns a list of two polynomials seen as the numerator and
denominator of the irreducible representation of the rational
function P/Q.
