Symbolic Manipulation 235
For example:
Substituting Values and Setting Constraints
The “with” operator ( | ) lets you temporarily substitute values into an expression or
specify domain constraints.
Note: The example to the right finds the derivative
of x
3
at x=5. If x
3
was initially simplified to 75, you
would find the derivative of 75, which is not what
you want.
x cannot be simplified.
x is not simplified. The function uses x
3
,
and then substitutes 5 for x.
x is simplified to t. The function uses t
3
.
x is simplified to t. The function uses t
3
,
and then substitutes 5 for t.
