Derivation

  1. Initial program 9.8

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

  3. Applied frac-sub_binary64_112026.0

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

  4. Applied frac-add_binary64_111925.5

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

  5. Simplified25.5

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

  6. Simplified25.5

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

  7. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{2}}{{x}^{3} + \left(-x\right)}\]
  8. Using strategy rm

  9. Applied neg-mul-1_binary64_11070.3

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

  10. Applied unpow3_binary64_11770.3

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

  11. Applied distribute-rgt-out_binary64_10640.3

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

  12. Applied associate-/r*_binary64_10550.1

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

  13. Final simplification0.1

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