Derivation

  1. Initial program 60.8

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

  2. Initial simplification60.8

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

  3. Taylor expanded around 0 0.5

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

  4. Simplified0.5

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

  5. Final simplification0.5

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