\[wj - \left(\frac{wj}{wj + 1} - \frac{x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 13.5

    \[wj - \frac{wj \cdot e^{wj} - x}{e^{wj} + wj \cdot e^{wj}}\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 2.0

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

  3. Simplified2.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{(wj \cdot \left((x \cdot -2 + wj)_*\right) + x)_*}\]

  4. Final simplification2.1

    \[\leadsto (wj \cdot \left((x \cdot -2 + wj)_*\right) + x)_*\]
