Derivation

  1. Initial program 59.8

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

  2. Initial simplification59.8

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

  3. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

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

  4. Simplified0.3

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

  5. Final simplification0.3

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