Derivation

  1. Initial program 59.8

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

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 59.8

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{x} - \color{blue}{\left(\frac{1}{x} - \left(\frac{1}{45} \cdot {x}^{3} + \frac{1}{3} \cdot x\right)\right)}\]

  3. Applied simplify0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{(\left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{45} \cdot x\right) + \left(\frac{1}{3} \cdot x\right))_*}\]
