Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -1.3644885705085021 or 41773.77440307341 < x

    1. Initial program 20.0

      \[\left(\frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{2}{x}\right) + \frac{1}{x - 1}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{2 \cdot \frac{1}{{x}^{3}} + \left(2 \cdot \frac{1}{{x}^{5}} + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{{x}^{7}}\right)}\]

    3. Applied simplify0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{2}{{x}^{7}} + \frac{2}{{x}^{5}}\right) + \frac{\frac{2}{x}}{x \cdot x}}\]

    if -1.3644885705085021 < x < 41773.77440307341

    1. Initial program 0.1

      \[\left(\frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{2}{x}\right) + \frac{1}{x - 1}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
  4. Removed slow pow expressions.
