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

Derivation

  1. Initial program 41.4

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

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 11.5

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

  3. Simplified1.1

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

  4. Final simplification1.1

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