Derivation

  1. Initial program 60.8

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

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.5

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

  3. Applied simplify0.5

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(-1 - x\right) + \frac{-1}{2} \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right)}\]
