So you aren't satisfied with my answer (repeated below)? Why? Martin ex := 1/(x*sqrt(x^n-a^n)) aa := integrate(ex, x) bb:=2/(n*sqrt(a^n))*acos(sqrt(a^n/x^n)) expRule := rule %e^(n*log x) == x^n sqrtRule := rule 1/sqrt z == sqrt(1/z) sqrtRule2 := rule sqrt w * sqrt z == sqrt(w*z) sqrtRule3 := rule sqrt(w/z) == sqrt(w*z)/z powerRule := rule z^(2*n)==(z^n)^2 (17) -> powerRule sqrtRule3 sqrtRule2 sqrtRule expRule normalize(aa.2 - bb) (17) 0 Type: Expression Integer _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
