propFrac(
expression1
[,
var
]) ⇒
expression
propFrac(
rational_number
)
returns
rational_number
as
the sum of an integer and a fraction having the
same sign and a greater denominator magnitude
than numerator magnitude.
propFrac(4/3)
¸ 1 + 1/3
propFrac(ë 4/3)
¸ ë 1ì 1/3
propFrac(
rational_expression,var
)
returns the sum of
proper ratios and a polynomial with respect to
var
.
The degree of
var
in the denominator exceeds the
degree of
var
in the numerator in each proper ratio.
Similar powers of
var
are collected. The terms and
their factors are sorted with
var
as the main variable.
If
var
is omitted, a proper fraction expansion is done
with respect to the most main variable. The
coefficients of the polynomial part are then made
proper with respect to their most main variable first
and so on.
For rational expressions,
propFrac()
is a faster but
less extreme alternative to
expand()
.
