Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (- (/ 1 (+ x 1)) (/ 1 x)) < -6.498231427768268e-18 or 3.4873870185326e-310 < (- (/ 1 (+ x 1)) (/ 1 x))

    1. Initial program 0.3

      \[\frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{1}{x}\]

    if -6.498231427768268e-18 < (- (/ 1 (+ x 1)) (/ 1 x)) < 3.4873870185326e-310

    1. Initial program 30.4

      \[\frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{1}{x}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.7

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{{x}^{3}} - \left(\frac{1}{{x}^{4}} + \frac{1}{{x}^{2}}\right)}\]
    3. Using strategy rm

    4. Applied pow-flip0.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{1}{{x}^{3}} - \left(\frac{1}{{x}^{4}} + \color{blue}{{x}^{\left(-2\right)}}\right)\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
