Derivation

  1. Initial program 14.6

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

  3. Applied frac-sub14.0

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

  4. Simplified14.0

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

  6. Applied times-frac14.0

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

  7. Simplified0.1

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{x + 1} \cdot \color{blue}{\frac{0 - 1}{x}}\]

  8. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{x + 1} \cdot \frac{0 - 1}{x}\]
