Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.0

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

  3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt0.0

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

  4. Applied log-prod0.0

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

  5. Final simplification0.0

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