Simplify[ <Function>]: Simplifies the terms of the given function, if possible.; Example:
Simplify[x + x + x] yields the function f(x) = 3x.

Simplify[ <Text> ]: Attempts to tidy up text expressions by removing repeated negatives etc.; Example:
For a=b=c=-1 Simplify["f(x) = " + a + "x² + " + b + "x + " + c] yields "f(x)=-x^2 - x - 1".

Note: The FormulaText Command normally produces better results and is simpler.

CAS Syntax

Simplify[ <Function> ]: Simplifies the terms of the given function, if possible. Undefined variables can be included in the terms.; Example:
<nowiki>Simplify[3 * x + 4 * x + a * x]
yields x*(a+7).
