Exponent
Exponent
[
expr
,
form
]
gives the maximum power with which
form
appears in the expanded form of
expr
.
Exponent
[
expr
,
form
,
h
]
applies
h
to the set of exponents with which
form
appears in
expr
.
MORE INFORMATION
The default taken for
h
is
Max
.
form
can be a product of terms.
Exponent
works whether or not
expr
is explicitly given in expanded form.
Exponent
[0,
x
]
is
-
Infinity
.
Exponent
[
expr
, {
form
1
,
form
2
,
...
}]
gives the list of exponents for each of the
form
i
.
