SOLUTION 2

7.15 Add , and and express as a single fraction with expanded numerator
and denominator.
SOLUTION

Without //ExpandDenominator, the denominator would be expressed in factored


form.

7.16 What is the partial fraction expansion of ?


SOLUTION

7.17 Find the partial fraction expansion of the function in the previous problem
with linear complex denominators.
SOLUTION

To force Mathematica to express the result using linear complex denominators, we


factor x2 + 1 as (x + I) (x − I).

7.18 Express (ex + e2x)4 as a sum of exponentials.


SOLUTION

7.3 Trigonometric Functions


Although the commands discussed in the previous section may be applied to
trigonometric functions, doing so does not take advantage of the simplification
offered by trigonometric identities. To incorporate these into the calculation, the
option Trig → True must be set. (The default is Trig → False for all but
the Simplify command.) The following examples show the difference.

Trig → True applies to hyperbolic as well as circular functions.

EXAMPLE 23

To allow additional manipulation of trigonometric


expressions, Mathematica offers the following specialized commands, which apply
to both circular and hyperbolic functions:

TrigExpand [expression] expands expression, splitting up sums and


multiples that appear in arguments of trigonometric functions and expanding
out products of trigonometric functions into sums and powers, taking
advantage of trigonometric identities whenever possible.

TrigReduce[expression] rewrites products and powers of trig functions


in expressionas trigonometric expressions with combined arguments,
reducing expression to a linear trig function (i.e., without powers or products).

TrigFactor[expression] converts expression into a factored expression of


trigonometric functions of a single argument.

The next example shows the difference between Expand and TrigExpand.
