Derivation

  1. Initial program 30.4

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

  2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.2

    \[\leadsto \log \left(x + \color{blue}{\left(x - \left(\frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{1}{{x}^{3}} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{x}\right)\right)}\right)\]

  3. Applied simplify0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(\left(\left(x + x\right) - \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{x}\right) - \frac{\frac{\frac{1}{8}}{x}}{x \cdot x}\right)}\]
