completeSquare ()
Catalog >
- or -
Converts a quadratic equation of the form
a•x
2
+b•x+c=d into the form a•(x-h)
2
=k
The first argument must be a quadratic
expression or equation in standard form
with respect to the second argument.
The Second argument must be a single
univariate term or a single univariate term
raised to a rational power, for example
x,y
2
,orz
(1/3)
.
The third and fourth syntax attempt to
complete the square with respect to
variables Var1, Var2 [,… ]).
conj()
Catalog >
conj(Expr1) ⇒ expression
conj(List1) ⇒ list
conj(Matrix1) ⇒ matrix
Returns the complex conjugate of the
argument.
Note: All undefined variables are treated as
real variables.
constructMat()
Catalog >
constructMat
(Expr,Var1,Var2,numRows,numCols) ⇒
matrix
Returns a matrix based on the arguments.
Expr is an expression in variables Var1 and
Var2. Elements in the resulting matrix are
formed by evaluating Expr for each
incremented value of Var1 and Var2.
Var1 is automatically incremented from 1
through numRows. Within each row, Var2
is incremented from 1 through numCols.
