\[-2 \cdot \left(\left(\varepsilon + \frac{{\varepsilon}^{3}}{3}\right) + \frac{{\varepsilon}^{5}}{5}\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 58.6

    \[\log \left(\frac{1 - \varepsilon}{1 + \varepsilon}\right)\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.6

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(2 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{2} + \log 1\right) - \left(2 \cdot \frac{{\varepsilon}^{2}}{{1}^{2}} + 2 \cdot \varepsilon\right)}\]

  3. Simplified0.6

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{2 \cdot \left({\varepsilon}^{2} - \mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{\varepsilon}{1}, \frac{\varepsilon}{1}, \varepsilon\right)\right) + \log 1}\]

  4. Final simplification0.6

    \[\leadsto 2 \cdot \left({\varepsilon}^{2} - \mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{\varepsilon}{1}, \frac{\varepsilon}{1}, \varepsilon\right)\right) + \log 1\]
