How to divide the fraction 1 / 1 + 1This has to do with re-calculating the sigmoid function in ai. It isn't really important, but the simplest way to put it is I need a math guru to help my monkey brain do this: 1 1 + e to like 1 s o m e t h i n g + 1 e Please help me remember my math from high-school if this was ever taught to us.

The problem is that there isn&#039;t really a good way to do that. Things that do work with fractions are the following:1.            a      +      b        c    =      a    c    +      b    c  2.            a      ⋅      b              c      ⋅      d        =      a    c    ⋅      b    d  but there isn&#039;t a way to separate when there is a sum in the denominator.I suppose perhaps one thing you could do, although this isn&#039;t likely what you have in mind, is the following: if   e is small in your description (that is, if       |    e      |    &amp;lt;  1) then there is a geometric series expansion      1          1      +      e        =  1  −  e  +      e    2    −      e    3    +      e    4    +  ⋯  =      ∑          n      =      0        ∞    (  −  1      )    n        e    n  but I&#039;m not so certain this is what you&#039;re looking for.

I suppose that the question is less elementary than only finding       1          1      +      e        =      1    e    −      1          e      (      1      +      e      )      May be you want to express       1          1      +      e       in terms of       1    e  ?If so, use a geometric series :      1          1      +      e        =            1      e              1      +              1        e              =      1    e    −            (              1        e            )        2    +            (              1        e            )        3    −            (              1        e            )        4    +  .  .  .      1          1      +      e        =  −      ∑          n      =      1        ∞              (      −              1        e            )        n
