Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if eps < -1.1448011288427572e-08

    1. Initial program 29.2

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

    3. Applied sin-sum0.5

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

    if -1.1448011288427572e-08 < eps < 6.5270229471383804e-09

    1. Initial program 44.9

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

    3. Applied diff-sin44.9

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

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

    if 6.5270229471383804e-09 < eps

    1. Initial program 30.0

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

    3. Applied sin-sum0.6

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

    4. Applied associate--l+0.6

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

  4. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\varepsilon \le -1.1448011288427572 \cdot 10^{-08}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\sin x \cdot \cos \varepsilon + \cos x \cdot \sin \varepsilon\right) - \sin x\\ \mathbf{elif}\;\varepsilon \le 6.5270229471383804 \cdot 10^{-09}:\\ \;\;\;\;2 \cdot \left(\sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \cos \left(\frac{\left(x + \varepsilon\right) + x}{2}\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\cos x \cdot \sin \varepsilon - \sin x\right) + \sin x \cdot \cos \varepsilon\\ \end{array}\]
