Polynomial derivative causes Prime to Crash?
Hello!

Perhaps just trying to save some time while finding the derivative of this polynomial function:
d/dx(5x^(3/5)+4x^(3/4)) ... using the Prime Virtual Calculator, it failed causing the Emulator to crash, then I tried to solve it separating each term to find out the symbolic results are no the ones I expected.
   
   
I noticed that evaluating the derivative numerically it returns correct values... but symbolically I'm not sure, what do you think?

Thank you.

Well, the answer is correct, you got to simplify yourself.

I don't think it crashes (at least it does not inside Xcas), but you would have to wait much too long, I will change some parameters to avoid that (maximum degree for common algebraic extension built for simplifications).

RE: Polynomial derivative causes Prime to Crash?
In xcas diff(5*x^(3/5)+4*x^(3/4),x) returns:

3/(x^(1/5))^2+3*1/(x^(1/4))^3*sqrt(x)

However, simplify(diff(5*x^(3/5)+4*x^(3/4),x)) returns:

RE: Polynomial derivative causes Prime to Crash?
3*x^(-2/5) == diff(5*x^(3/5)) [enter] returns 1 (true)

[up] [up] [copy] => 3*x^(-2/5) == 5*x^(3/5)' [enter] returns 1 (true) ok, but shifted the single quotation mark out of the entire expression, in this case not fails, because 5 is taken as constant

should be
[up] [up] [copy] =>3*x^(-2/5) == (5*x^(3/5))'

in the following case fails
diff(x/y) [enter] returns 1/y ok
but
[up] [up] [copy] => x/y' [enter] returns ±∞. BUG CONFIRMED

should be
[up] [up] [copy] => (x/y)' [enter] 1/y ok

FOR HP-PRIME TEAM

solution to bug

diff(expr) => parser as (expr)' and not as expr'


---------------------------------

for Bernard, we would see the solution as we make to naturally

diff(5*x^(3/5) => 3*x^(-2/5) or 3/x^(2/5) and not 3*(x^(1/5))^3/x (is not so simplified superficially)

as you can improve the simplifier?

RE: Polynomial derivative causes Prime to Crash?
roadrunner: nothing is wrong. You get the result as rootof(P,Q) i.e. P(alpha) where Q(alpha)=0. This is because the simplifier rewrite all algebraic extensions in a unique one, in order to certify that it will not miss a simplification, the analog as when you add fractions like 1/2+1/3+1/6 you can get a simplification to an integer. However here it requires heavy computations.
I would recommend not to run simplify on expressions with fractional powers, by the way the title of the topic is misleading, this is not a polynomial derivative.

Regarding fractional powers, the CAS rewrites them as polynomials over simpler intermediate variables, here x^(3/5) as x^(1/5)^3.
