expand

Expand symbolic expression

Syntax

g = expand(f)

Description

Expands products and powers in the symbolic expression. Distributes multiplication over addition and expands powers of sums. Example: expand((x+1)^2) returns x^2 + 2*x + 1

Parameters

NameDescription
fSymbolic expression to expand

Returns

Expanded expression

Examples

Try It
>> syms x; expand((x + 1)^2)
x^2 + 2*x + 1
Try It
>> syms x y; expand((x + y)*(x - y))
x^2 - y^2
