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

Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (+ (- (/ 1 (+ x 1)) (/ 2 x)) (/ 1 (- x 1))) < -1.7381349607007608e-16 or 1.2109615340782533e-22 < (+ (- (/ 1 (+ x 1)) (/ 2 x)) (/ 1 (- x 1)))

    1. Initial program 0.4

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

    if -1.7381349607007608e-16 < (+ (- (/ 1 (+ x 1)) (/ 2 x)) (/ 1 (- x 1))) < 1.2109615340782533e-22

    1. Initial program 19.6

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.5

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

    3. Applied simplify0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{2}{{x}^{7}} + \frac{2}{{x}^{5}}\right) + \frac{\frac{2}{x}}{x \cdot x}}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
