method Rationalize #

Rationalize(Expression)

Rationalise every denominator in expr.

method conjugateOf #

conjugateOf(Expression)

Build the conjugate of den by flipping the sign of the first additive term that contains a radical (or the imaginary unit). This single flip removes that radical from the product den*conjugate, after which the recursion clears any remaining radicals.

method distributeAll #

distributeAll(Expression)

Fully expand every product of sums (FOIL) so that a conjugate product such as (a + bsqrt(c)) (a - bsqrt(c)) becomes the rational sum a^2 - b^2c, which the shared simplifier then reduces to a number.
