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.

Text CATALOG
Text promptString
Displays the character string promptString dialog
box.
If used as part of a Dialog...EndDlog block,
promptString is displayed inside that dialog box. If
used as a standalone instruction,
Text creates a
dialog box to display the string.
Text "Have a nice day." ¸
Done
Then See If, page 830.
timeCnv() CATALOG
timeCnv( seconds ) ⇒
⇒⇒
⇒ list
Converts seconds to units of time that can be
more easily understood for evaluation. The list is
in {
days,hours,minutes,seconds } format.
Note: See also
checkTmr() and startTmr().

Title CATALOG
Title titleString , [ Lbl ]
Creates the title of a pull-down menu or dialog
box when used inside a
Toolbar or Custom
construct, or a
Dialog...EndDlog block.
Note:
Lbl is only valid in the Toolbar construct.
When present, it allows the menu choice to
branch to a specified label inside the program.
