Derivation

  1. Initial program 14.4

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

  3. Applied frac-sub13.8

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

  4. Simplified0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{-1}}{\left(x + 1\right) \cdot x}\]
  5. Using strategy rm

  6. Applied associate-/r*0.1

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

  7. Final simplification0.1

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