Bits error versus x

Derivation

  1. Initial program 14.4

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

  3. Applied frac-sub13.7

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

  4. Simplified0.4

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

  5. Simplified0.4

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

  6. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{-1}{(x \cdot x + x)_*}\]
