  • HP50G algebraic simplification

    From shai lesh@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 3 09:32:49 2022
    Hello,

    This question will apply to HP48 and HP49 calculators as well.

    Consider the following expression:

    ((x^2 + 1 )^2 * 3x *2) / (x^2 + 1 )^3

    I want to simplify the above so that the term (x^2 + 1 )^2 is absorbed in the denominator so that the above expression simplifies to

    3x*2/(x^2 + 1).

    If I use commands like EVAL, COLCT and FACTOR I get

    6x/(x^2 + 1) instead which I don't want as the term 3x * 2 gets simplified as well.

    In the Equation Editor I am not able to choose only the part

    (x^2 + 1 )^2 / (x^2 + 1 )^3

    to get 1/(x^2+1).

    Any help would be most appreciated.
