Derivation

1. Initial program 60.8

   \[\frac{\log \left(1 - x\right)}{\log \left(1 + x\right)}\]

2. Simplified 59.8

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\log \left(1 - x\right)}{\mathsf{log1p}\left(x\right)}}\]
3. Using strategy rm

4. Applied sub-neg 59.8

   \[\leadsto \frac{\log \color{blue}{\left(1 + \left(-x\right)\right)}}{\mathsf{log1p}\left(x\right)}\]

5. Applied log1p-def 0.0

   \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\mathsf{log1p}\left(\left(-x\right)\right)}}{\mathsf{log1p}\left(x\right)}\]

6. Final simplification 0.0

   \[\leadsto \frac{\mathsf{log1p}\left(\left(-x\right)\right)}{\mathsf{log1p}\left(x\right)}\]
