Functions and commands

center

Displays a circle with its center indicated.

center(Crcle)

Example:

center(circle(x^2+y2–x–y))

gives

point(1/2,1/2)

cFactor

Returns an expression factorized over the complex field (on

Gaussian integers if there are more than two ).

cfactor(Expr)

Example:

cFactor(x^2*y+y)

gives

(x+i)*(x-i)*y

charpoly

Returns the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a

matrix. With only one argument, the variable used in the

polynomial is x. With a variable as second argument, the

polynomial is an expression of it.

charpoly(Mtrx,[Var])

chrem

Returns the Chinese remainders for two lists of integers.

chrem(LstIntg(a,b,c....),LstIntg(p,q,r,....))

Example:

chrem([2,3],[7,5])

gives

[-12,35]

circle

With two arguments, draws a circle. If the second argument

is a point, then the distance between it and the point given as

the first argument is equal to the diameter the circle. If the

second argument is a complex, then the center of the circle is

at the point given in the first argument and the absolute value

of the second argument is the radius of the circle.

circle((Pnt or Cplx(A)),(Pnt or
Cplx(B)),[Real(a)],[Real(b)],[Var(A)],[Var(B)
])

Example:

circle(GA,GB)

draws the circle with diameter AB

circumcircle

Returns the circumcircle of the triangle ABC.

circumcircle((Pnt or Cplx(A)),(Pnt or
Cplx(B)),((Pnt or Cplx(C)))

Example:

circumcircle(GA,GB,GC)

draws the circle

circumscribed about ΔABC
