tExpand()
MATH\Algebra\Trig menu
tExpand(
expression1
)
⇒
expression
Returns an expression in which sines and
cosines of integer-multiple angles, angle
sums, and angle differences are expanded.
Because of the identity (sin(x))
2
+(cos(x))
2
=1,
there are many possible equivalent results.
Consequently, a result might differ from a
result shown in other publications.
Sometimes
tExpand()
will accomplish your
goals when the default trigonometric
simplification does not.
tExpand()
tends to
reverse transformations done by
tCollect()
.
Sometimes applying
tCollect()
to a result from
tExpand()
, or vice versa, in two separate steps
simplifies an expression.
Note: Degree-mode scaling by
p
/180
interferes with the ability of
tExpand()
to
recognize expandable forms. For best results,
tExpand()
should be used in Radian mode.
