Operate coefficients in Symbolic expressions

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi,
I would like to know how to operate the coefficients in a symbolic expression.
Thanks!
Example:
syms s k kc
G_s=k/(s^3+6*s^2+10*s);
D_s=kc*(s+2)/(s+9.067);
t_s=(G_s*D_s)/(1+G_s*D_s);
vpa(simplify(t_s),5)
Result:
Desired result:

Maybe there is an easy option, but something like this will work
syms s k kc
G_s=k/(s^3+6*s^2+10*s);
D_s=kc*(s+2)/(s+9.067);
t_s=(G_s*D_s)/(1+G_s*D_s);
[n,d] = numden(t_s);
a = gcd(coeffs(n));
vpa(simplify((n/a)/(d/a)))

Thank you very much for your answer, but as you've said, i'm looking for an easier option. Maybe one already implemented in matlab, since this is a very simple example but it can get harder.

There is no method implemented in MATLAB for this purpose. You are fighting against the internal rules for representation of ratios.
You could probably replace the last line with
vpa(n/a)/vpa(d/a)
