Help,
For some reason, I can't get Maple 6 to simplify the expression
f :=
1/2*(2*2^(1/3)*x^(1/3)-x)*2^(2/3)*sqrt(4-2^(2/3)*x^(2/3))/(x^(1/3));
to
fs := (2^(4/3)-x^(2/3))^(3/2);
even when I say
simplify(f-fs,assume=real);
Even when I substitute x = 2 into the difference, it does not simplify
to 0.
What's wrong?
Carl
