Derivation

  1. Initial program 10.3

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

  2. Applied egg-rr25.7

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

  3. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.3

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

  4. Applied egg-rr0.1

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

  5. Applied egg-rr0.1

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

  6. Final simplification0.1
