I and using sage to convert x^2 + 2*x + 1 to (x + 1)^2 by using the following:
show((y*2 + 2y + 1).simplify_full())
but it does not do anything and returns the expression as it is. How do I make it do it ? Thanks!
This isn't necessarily simplification; which one is really "simpler"? But Sage does support this - you may want a combination of several symbolic methods. Try this.
f = x^2 + 2*x + 1
f.factor()
