### 5.26.11 Bézout’s Identity : egcd gcdex

This function computes the polynomial coefficients of Bézout’s Identity (also known as Extended Greatest Common Divisor). Given two polynomials A(x),B(x), egcd computes 3 polynomials U(x),V(x) and D(x) such that :

U(x)*A(x)+V(x)*B(x)=D(x)=GCD(A(x),B(x))

egcd takes 2 or 3 arguments: the polynomials A and B as expressions in terms of a variable, if the variable is not specified it will default to x. Alternatively, A and B may be given as list-polynomials.
