Derivation

1. Initial program 31.7

   \[\frac{1 - \cos x}{x \cdot x}\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied flip-- 31.8

   \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{1 \cdot 1 - \cos x \cdot \cos x}{1 + \cos x}}}{x \cdot x}\]

4. Simplified 15.9

   \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{\sin x \cdot \sin x}}{1 + \cos x}}{x \cdot x}\]
5. Using strategy rm

6. Applied *-un-lft-identity 15.9

   \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\sin x \cdot \sin x}{1 + \color{blue}{1 \cdot \cos x}}}{x \cdot x}\]

7. Applied *-un-lft-identity 15.9

   \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\sin x \cdot \sin x}{\color{blue}{1 \cdot 1} + 1 \cdot \cos x}}{x \cdot x}\]

8. Applied distribute-lft-out 15.9

   \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\sin x \cdot \sin x}{\color{blue}{1 \cdot \left(1 + \cos x\right)}}}{x \cdot x}\]

9. Applied times-frac 15.9

   \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\sin x}{1} \cdot \frac{\sin x}{1 + \cos x}}}{x \cdot x}\]

10. Applied times-frac 0.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{\sin x}{1}}{x} \cdot \frac{\frac{\sin x}{1 + \cos x}}{x}}\]

11. Simplified 0.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\sin x}{x}} \cdot \frac{\frac{\sin x}{1 + \cos x}}{x}\]

12. Simplified 0.1

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

13. Final simplification 0.1

    \[\leadsto \frac{\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}{x} \cdot \frac{\sin x}{x}\]
