Derivation

  1. Initial program 41.2

    \[\frac{e^{x}}{e^{x} - 1}\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 11.8

    \[\leadsto \frac{e^{x}}{\color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot {x}^{2} + \left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot {x}^{3} + x\right)}}\]

  3. Simplified1.0

    \[\leadsto \frac{e^{x}}{\color{blue}{{x}^{2} \cdot \left(x \cdot \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\right) + x}}\]
  4. Using strategy rm

  5. Applied clear-num1.0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{{x}^{2} \cdot \left(x \cdot \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\right) + x}{e^{x}}}}\]

  6. Final simplification1.0

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\frac{{x}^{2} \cdot \left(x \cdot \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\right) + x}{e^{x}}}\]
