Factor[x^7 + x^5 + x^4 + -x^3 + x + 1] // Trace Bobby -----Original Message----- From: Steven Hodgen [mailto:shodgen at mindspring.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg35324] [mg35293] Factoring question Hello, I just purchased Mathematica 4.1. I'm taking precalculus and wanted to try a tough factoring problem, since the teacher couldn't do it either. Mathematica get's the correct answer, but I'm interrested in seeing how it got there. Is there a way to turn on some sort of trace feature where it shows each step it used to get the the final result? Thanks! --Steven
