Bits error versus x

Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes
  2. if x < -0.013474001228013562

    1. Initial program 1.0

      \[\frac{1 - \cos x}{x \cdot x}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied *-un-lft-identity1.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{1 \cdot \left(1 - \cos x\right)}}{x \cdot x}\]
    4. Applied times-frac0.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{1 - \cos x}{x}}\]

    if -0.013474001228013562 < x < 0.0043662725802963

    1. Initial program 61.4

      \[\frac{1 - \cos x}{x \cdot x}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{720} \cdot {x}^{4}\right) - \frac{1}{24} \cdot {x}^{2}}\]

    if 0.0043662725802963 < x

    1. Initial program 1.0

      \[\frac{1 - \cos x}{x \cdot x}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied flip--1.3

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{1 \cdot 1 - \cos x \cdot \cos x}{1 + \cos x}}}{x \cdot x}\]
    4. Applied simplify1.2

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{\sin x \cdot \sin x}}{1 + \cos x}}{x \cdot x}\]
    5. Using strategy rm
    6. Applied frac-2neg1.2

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{-\frac{\sin x \cdot \sin x}{1 + \cos x}}{-x \cdot x}}\]
    7. Applied simplify0.8

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\left(-\sin x\right) \cdot \tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}}{-x \cdot x}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.
