  • Graphical form: \"r%5E3t%5E-7%2Ft%5E5\" simplifies to \"r%5E3%2Ft%5E12\"
  • Text form: r^3t^-7/t^5 simplifies to r^3/t^12
  • Cartoon (animation) form: \"simplify_cartoon%28+r%5E3t%5E-7%2Ft%5E5+%29\"

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"r%5E3%2Ahighlight_red%28+t%5E-7+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+t%5E5+%29\".
Reduce similar several occurrences of \"highlight_red%28+t%5E-7+%29\" to \"highlight_green%28+t%5E%28-7-5%29+%29\"
It becomes \"r%5E3%2Ahighlight_green%28+t%5E%28-7-5%29+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"r%5E3%2At%5E%28highlight_red%28+-7+%29-5%29\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-7\"
It becomes \"r%5E3%2At%5E%28-highlight_green%28+7+%29-5%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"r%5E3%2At%5E%28-highlight_red%28+7+%29-highlight_red%28+5+%29%29\".
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes \"r%5E3%2At%5E%28highlight_green%28+-12+%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"r%5E3%2At%5E%28highlight_red%28+-12+%29%29\".
Removed extra sign in front of \"-12\"
It becomes \"r%5E3%2At%5E%28-highlight_green%28+12+%29%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
Look at \"r%5E3%2Ahighlight_red%28+t%5E%28-12%29+%29\".
Negative power changes multiplication to division
It becomes \"r%5E3%2Fhighlight_green%28+t%5E12+%29\".
Result: \"r%5E3%2Ft%5E12\"
