Assuming that q^1/(1-á-â) * r^(-â/(1-á-â)) * w^(1-â)/(1-á-â)) * á^(1-â)/(1-á-â)) * â^(â/(1-á-â)) should read (note the additional -ve in the exponent of w), q^(1/(1-á-â)) * r^(-â/(1-á-â)) * w^(-(1-â)/(1-á-â)) * á^((1-â)/(1-á-â)) * â^(â/(1-á-â)) then Simplify[%, â > 0 && r > 0 && w > 0] (these assumptions may or may not apply in your problem) reduces the expression to the same expression as Simplify[q^(1/(-á-â+1))*(á/w)^((1-â)/(-á-â+1))*(â/r)^(â/(-á-â+1))] % == %% True Cheers, Paul -- Paul Abbott Phone: +61 8 9380 2734 School of Physics, M013 Fax: +61 8 9380 1014 The University of Western Australia (CRICOS Provider No 00126G) 35 Stirling Highway Crawley WA 6009 mailto:paul at physics.uwa.edu.au AUSTRALIA http://physics.uwa.edu.au/~paul
