Derivation

  1. Initial program 61.1

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

  3. Applied flip--_binary64_73560.8

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

  4. Applied log-div_binary64_84761.1

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

  5. Applied div-sub_binary64_76561.1

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

  6. Simplified61.1

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

  7. Simplified61.1

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

  8. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(-\left(x + \left(0.5 \cdot {x}^{2} + 0.4166666666666667 \cdot {x}^{3}\right)\right)\right)} - 1\]

  9. Simplified0.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\left(-x\right) - \left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(0.5 + 0.4166666666666667 \cdot x\right)\right)} - 1\]

  10. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto -1 - \left(x + \left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(0.5 + x \cdot 0.4166666666666667\right)\right)\]
