Derivation

  1. Initial program 31.5

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

  2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log 2 - \left(\frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{1}{{x}^{2}} + \left(\frac{3}{32} \cdot \frac{1}{{x}^{4}} + \log \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right)\right)}\]

  3. Applied simplify0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\log 2 - \frac{\frac{3}{32}}{{x}^{4}}\right) + \left(\log x - \frac{\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{x}}{x}\right)}\]
