Derivation

  1. Initial program 59.8

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

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.02222222222222222307030925492199457949027 \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(0.002116402116402116544841005563171165704262 \cdot {x}^{5} + 0.3333333333333333148296162562473909929395 \cdot x\right)}\]

  3. Final simplification0.4
