Hi I have a symbolic matrix that I invert. When I take each individual entry of the resulting matrix, I get an expression of the form: num1/den1 + num2/den1 + .... + num_n/den1 where den1 is the determinant of the matrix. I'd like to get an expression of the form: Num/Den. I tried using Simplify (as well as multiplying the matrix by its determinant), but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions? On a related note, the final Num is a polynomial in two variables - say x,y. I'd like to arrange it in decreasing powers of x - like f1(y) x^n + f2(y) x^n-1... + constant. What function should use? Is there any way to both in a single step? Thanks a lot Srikanth
