| question on recovering numerical factors from rational polynomials |
K=(25*x^2 + 100*y*x + 100*y^2)/(49*x^2 - 98*y*x + 49*y^2) ? factor(K) %9 = [ x - y -2] [x + 2*y 2] why isn't this [ 5 2] [ 7 -2] [ x-y -2] [x+2y 2]using content on the rational poly can sometimes lead to problems if a variable is in common with the terms.
how do I recover the rational number (5/7)^2 ? Randall
