\[\frac{2}{x \cdot \left(x \cdot x - 1\right)}\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 10.0

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

  3. Applied frac-sub25.4

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

  4. Applied frac-add25.0

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

  5. Simplified25.0

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

  6. Simplified25.0

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

  7. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

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

  8. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

    \[\leadsto \frac{2}{\color{blue}{{x}^{3} - 1 \cdot x}}\]

  9. Simplified0.3

    \[\leadsto \frac{2}{\color{blue}{{x}^{3} - x \cdot 1}}\]

  10. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto \frac{2}{{x}^{3} - x \cdot 1}\]
