Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.6

    \[\left(\frac{\left(1\right)}{\left(\frac{x}{\left(1\right)}\right)}\right) - \left(\frac{\left(1\right)}{x}\right)\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied p16-flip--1.3

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

  5. Applied difference-of-squares1.0

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

  6. Applied associate-/l*0.9

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

  7. Final simplification0.9

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