Derivation

  1. Initial program 14.7

    \[\frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{1}{x - 1}\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied flip--28.9

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{1}{\color{blue}{\frac{x \cdot x - 1 \cdot 1}{x + 1}}}\]

  4. Applied associate-/r/28.9

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

  5. Applied flip-+14.7

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

  6. Applied associate-/r/14.7

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

  7. Applied distribute-lft-out--14.0

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

  8. Simplified14.0

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

  9. Simplified0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{-1 + x \cdot x} \cdot \color{blue}{-2}\]

  10. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{-1 + x \cdot x} \cdot -2\]
