Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if eps < -0.007820252351795403 or 5.615725228197493e-05 < eps

   1. Initial program 29.6

      \[\cos \left(x + \varepsilon\right) - \cos x\]
   2. Using strategy rm

   3. Applied cos-sum0.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\cos x \cdot \cos \varepsilon - \sin x \cdot \sin \varepsilon\right)} - \cos x\]

   if -0.007820252351795403 < eps < 5.615725228197493e-05

   1. Initial program 49.2

      \[\cos \left(x + \varepsilon\right) - \cos x\]
   2. Using strategy rm

   3. Applied diff-cos38.2

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-2 \cdot \left(\sin \left(\frac{\left(x + \varepsilon\right) - x}{2}\right) \cdot \sin \left(\frac{\left(x + \varepsilon\right) + x}{2}\right)\right)}\]

   4. Simplified0.6

      \[\leadsto -2 \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\sin \left(\frac{x + \left(\varepsilon + x\right)}{2}\right) \cdot \sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right)\right)}\]
   5. Using strategy rm

   6. Applied associate-*r*0.6

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

4. Final simplification0.7

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\varepsilon \le -0.007820252351795403:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\cos x \cdot \cos \varepsilon - \sin x \cdot \sin \varepsilon\right) - \cos x\\ \mathbf{elif}\;\varepsilon \le 5.615725228197493 \cdot 10^{-05}:\\ \;\;\;\;\sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \left(-2 \cdot \sin \left(\frac{\left(x + \varepsilon\right) + x}{2}\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\cos x \cdot \cos \varepsilon - \sin x \cdot \sin \varepsilon\right) - \cos x\\ \end{array}\]
