Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if eps < -0.006642985581803274 or 7.1635955881985835e-06 < eps

   1. Initial program 30.3

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

   3. Applied cos-sum0.9

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

   4. Applied associate--l-0.9

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

   if -0.006642985581803274 < eps < 7.1635955881985835e-06

   1. Initial program 49.2

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

   3. Applied diff-cos37.0

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

   4. Simplified0.5

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

4. Final simplification0.7

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\varepsilon \le -0.006642985581803274:\\ \;\;\;\;\cos x \cdot \cos \varepsilon - \left(\cos x + \sin x \cdot \sin \varepsilon\right)\\ \mathbf{elif}\;\varepsilon \le 7.1635955881985835 \cdot 10^{-06}:\\ \;\;\;\;-2 \cdot \left(\sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \sin \left(\frac{\left(x + \varepsilon\right) + x}{2}\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\cos x \cdot \cos \varepsilon - \left(\cos x + \sin x \cdot \sin \varepsilon\right)\\ \end{array}\]
