I have an expression which is a sum of terms, some monomials and others involving square roots, such as A = 3 + 5 x^2 + 7 x + Sqrt[5+x] + 7 x Sqrt[5+x] (but much more complicated). I want to solve this, which involves separating terms with the square root from those that do not have a square root, then squaring each. I can not work out how to separate out those terms that have the square root. I do not want to hard code, such as nosqrt = A[[1]] + A[[2]] , etc. Can anyone help? r
