Derivation

  1. Initial program 61.4

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

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 60.5

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

  3. Simplified60.5

    \[\leadsto \frac{\log \left(1 - x\right)}{\color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, 1, \log 1 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{{x}^{2}}{{1}^{2}}\right)}}\]

  4. Taylor expanded around 0 0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\log 1 - \left(1 \cdot x + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{{x}^{2}}{{1}^{2}}\right)}}{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, 1, \log 1 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{{x}^{2}}{{1}^{2}}\right)}\]

  5. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto \frac{\log 1 - \left(1 \cdot x + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{{x}^{2}}{{1}^{2}}\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, 1, \log 1 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{{x}^{2}}{{1}^{2}}\right)}\]
