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:
Simplify[3 * x + 4 * x + a * x] yields x * a + 7 * x while...
Factor[3 * x + 4 * x + a * x] yields x * (a + 7).
Note: See also Factor Command.
