Derivation

1. Initial program 100.0

   \[\frac{2}{e^{x} + e^{-x}} \]

2. Taylor expanded in x around inf 100.0

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{2}{e^{-x} + e^{x}}} \]

3. Simplified 100.0

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\cosh x}} \]
   Proof

   [Start] 100.0	\[ \frac{2}{e^{-x} + e^{x}} \]
   metadata-eval [<=] 100.0	\[ \frac{\color{blue}{1 \cdot 2}}{e^{-x} + e^{x}} \]
   associate-*l/ [<=] 100.0	\[ \color{blue}{\frac{1}{e^{-x} + e^{x}} \cdot 2} \]
   associate-/r/ [<=] 100.0	\[ \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{e^{-x} + e^{x}}{2}}} \]
   +-commutative [=>] 100.0	\[ \frac{1}{\frac{\color{blue}{e^{x} + e^{-x}}}{2}} \]
   cosh-def [<=] 100.0	\[ \frac{1}{\color{blue}{\cosh x}} \]

4. Final simplification 100.0

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\cosh x} \]
