Derivation

  1. Initial program 58.6

    \[e^{x} - 1\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot {x}^{2} + \left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot {x}^{3} + x\right)}\]

  3. Applied simplify0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x + \left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{6} \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right)}\]
