Hello. I'm trying to get Mathematica to show me the steps in the Simplify function. I have the following expression:
Simplify[(1/
2 (3 l*(3 l/2*Sqrt[3])))/((3 (1/2 (l*(l/2*Sqrt[3])))) + (1/
2 (3 l*(3 l/2*Sqrt[3]))))]
And this works, it shows me 3/4ths like it should. But I want to know how it got there. I have tried using this code:
ShowSteps[exp_] :=
WolframAlpha[
ToString@HoldForm@InputForm@exp, {{"Input", 2}, "Content"},
PodStates -> {"Input__Step-by-step solution"}]
SetAttributes[ShowSteps, HoldAll]
ShowSteps["Simplify
(1/2(3l*(3l/2*Sqrt[3])))/((3(1/2(l*(l/2*Sqrt[3]))))+(1/2(3l*(3l/2*\
Sqrt[3]))))"]
But this just gives the message 'Missing["NotAvailable"]'. I have also tried:
FullSimplify[(1/
2 (3 l*(3 l/2*Sqrt[3])))/((3 (1/2 (l*(l/2*Sqrt[3])))) + (1/
2 (3 l*(3 l/2*Sqrt[3])))),
TransformationFunctions -> {Sow, Automatic}] // Reap
Which just gives the answer of 3/4ths and a blank list. Is there any way to track the steps Mathematica is taking in the simplify function?
