Derivation

  1. Initial program 59.8

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

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.0222222222222222231 \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(0.00211640211640211654 \cdot {x}^{5} + 0.333333333333333315 \cdot x\right)}\]

  3. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto 0.0222222222222222231 \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(0.00211640211640211654 \cdot {x}^{5} + 0.333333333333333315 \cdot x\right)\]
