radexpand

Option variable

radexpand

Description

Default value: true

radexpand controls some simplifications of radicals.

When radexpand is all, causes nth roots of factors of a product which are powers of n to be pulled outside of the radical. E.g. if radexpand is all, sqrt (16*x^2) simplifies to 4*x.

More particularly, consider sqrt (x^2).

Note that domain only matters when radexpand is true.
