Error

Bits error versus x

Derivation

  1. Initial program 58.5

    \[\frac{1}{2} \cdot \log \left(\frac{1 + x}{1 - x}\right)\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.2

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