Derivation

1. Initial program 46.0

   \[\frac{\frac{\left(i \cdot i\right) \cdot \left(i \cdot i\right)}{\left(2 \cdot i\right) \cdot \left(2 \cdot i\right)}}{\left(2 \cdot i\right) \cdot \left(2 \cdot i\right) - 1.0}\]

2. Initial simplification16.0

   \[\leadsto \frac{i \cdot \frac{i}{4}}{i \cdot \left(4 \cdot i\right) - 1.0}\]
3. Using strategy rm

4. Applied clear-num16.3

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{i \cdot \left(4 \cdot i\right) - 1.0}{i \cdot \frac{i}{4}}}}\]

5. Taylor expanded around inf 0.3

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{16 - 4.0 \cdot \frac{1}{{i}^{2}}}}\]

6. Simplified0.3

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{16 - \frac{4.0}{i \cdot i}}}\]

7. Final simplification0.3

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{16 - \frac{4.0}{i \cdot i}}\]
