Why do I keep getting output that looks like this when I use Mathematica?
$$\frac{2 b k |a+b v| (2 a+b v+b v \cos (t)) \sin ^2\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)}{(a+b v)^2 \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{4 a^2 k^2 \sin ^4\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)+d^2 (a+b v)^2 \sin ^2(t)}}\right)^* \sqrt{4 a^2 k^2 \sin ^4\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)+d^2 (a+b v)^2 \sin ^2(t)}} \sqrt{4 a^2 k^2 \sin ^4\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)+d^2 (a+b v)^2 \sin ^2(t)}}$$ This is the output of a "Simplify" with the options
It's like Mathematica is ignoring that I've tried to tell it that all variables are real.
$$\frac{2 b k |a+b v| (2 a+b v+b v \cos (t)) \sin ^2\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)}{(a+b v)^2 \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{4 a^2 k^2 \sin ^4\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)+d^2 (a+b v)^2 \sin ^2(t)}}\right)^* \sqrt{4 a^2 k^2 \sin ^4\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)+d^2 (a+b v)^2 \sin ^2(t)}} \sqrt{4 a^2 k^2 \sin ^4\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)+d^2 (a+b v)^2 \sin ^2(t)}}$$ This is the output of a "Simplify" with the options
Code:
{a, b, d, v, t} \[Element] Reals && k > 0
