Derivation

  1. Initial program 14.7

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

  3. Applied frac-sub14.1

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

  4. Simplified14.1

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

  6. Applied associate-/r*14.1

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

  7. Simplified0.1

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

  8. Final simplification0.1

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