Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.030582628052299624 or 0.029942885905857714 < x

    1. Initial program 1.1

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

    3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt1.2

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

    4. Applied times-frac0.6

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

    if -0.030582628052299624 < x < 0.029942885905857714

    1. Initial program 62.3

      \[\frac{1 - \cos x}{x \cdot x}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{1}{720} \cdot {x}^{4} + \frac{1}{2}\right) - \frac{1}{24} \cdot {x}^{2}}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le -0.030582628052299624 \lor \neg \left(x \le 0.0299428859058577142\right):\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt{1 - \cos x}}{x} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{1 - \cos x}}{x}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\frac{1}{720} \cdot {x}^{4} + \frac{1}{2}\right) - \frac{1}{24} \cdot {x}^{2}\\ \end{array}\]
