Derivation

  1. Initial program 59.9

    \[\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{\tan x}\]

  2. Applied taylor 0.3

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{45} \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(\frac{2}{945} \cdot {x}^{5} + \frac{1}{3} \cdot x\right)\]

  3. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{45} \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(\frac{2}{945} \cdot {x}^{5} + \frac{1}{3} \cdot x\right)}\]
  4. Removed slow pow expressions
