Derivation

1. Initial program 58.6

   \[\frac{\varepsilon \cdot \left(e^{\left(a + b\right) \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right)}{\left(e^{a \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right) \cdot \left(e^{b \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right)}\]

2. Taylor expanded around 0 56.0

   \[\leadsto \frac{\varepsilon \cdot \left(e^{\left(a + b\right) \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right)}{\left(e^{a \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\varepsilon \cdot b + \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left({\varepsilon}^{2} \cdot {b}^{2}\right) + \frac{1}{6} \cdot \left({\varepsilon}^{3} \cdot {b}^{3}\right)\right)\right)}}\]

3. Simplified54.5

   \[\leadsto \frac{\varepsilon \cdot \left(e^{\left(a + b\right) \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right)}{\left(e^{a \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\varepsilon \cdot b + \left(\left(\varepsilon \cdot b\right) \cdot \left(\varepsilon \cdot b\right)\right) \cdot \left(b \cdot \left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot \varepsilon\right) + \frac{1}{2}\right)\right)}}\]

4. Taylor expanded around 0 3.3

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b}}\]

5. Final simplification3.3

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b}\]
