\[x \cdot \left(\left(1 + \frac{x}{2}\right) + \frac{x \cdot x}{6}\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 58.5

    \[e^{x} - 1\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot {x}^{2} + \left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot {x}^{3} + x\right)}\]

  3. Simplified0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{{x}^{2} \cdot \left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot x + \frac{1}{2}\right) + x}\]

  4. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto {x}^{2} \cdot \left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot x + \frac{1}{2}\right) + x\]
