Description
|
|
•
|
The type(expr, radext) function checks if expr is a radical extension of the real numbers. It is equivalent to type(expr, radical) or .
|
•
|
The type(expr, radext(K)) function checks whether expr is a radical expression where the expression under the root sign belongs to the domain K. For example, K could be integer or rational.
|
•
|
This function returns true if expr is such an expression. Otherwise, false is returned.
