Dear Maintainer,

  1/sqrt(1-x^2/100) and
  1/sqrt(1-(x^2)/100)

generate the same wrong graph, while

  1/sqrt(1-0.01x^2)
  1/sqrt(1-(1/100)x^2)
  sqrt(1-x^2/100)^(-1)

each return the expected one.

The error disappears for the non-reciprocal formulas

  sqrt(1-x^2/100)
  sqrt(1-(x^2)/100)
  sqrt(1-0.01x^2)
  sqrt(1-(1/100)x^2)

all of which generate the same expected graph.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Here's a simpler formular showing the same erroneous behaviour of geg:

1/x and 1/(x) return the expected graph

while

1/(x/1) returns the horizontal line f(x)=1.
