Hi.
In /doc/info/Polynomials.texi there is (line 1797):
@code{rat ((x^2 - 1)^4/(x + 1)^2)} yields @code{(x - 1)^4 (x + 1)^2)},
The last parenthesis was not opened and on maxima 5.25.1 yelds:
6 5 4 3 2
(%o??)/R/ x - 2 x - x + 4 x - x - 2 x + 1
and not yelds @code{(x - 1)^4 (x + 1)^2)} like was said in text.
By other hand:
factor ((x^2 - 1)^4/(x + 1)^2);
yelds:
@code{(x - 1)^4 (x + 1)^2}
Is only remove the ) and change "rat" to "factor" or change
@code{(x - 1)^4 (x + 1)^2)}
by
6 5 4 3 2
(%o??)/R/ x - 2 x - x + 4 x - x - 2 x + 1
???
Thanks in advance for your time.
