Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.03323288645356819 or 0.03010910821075468 < x

    1. Initial program 1.1

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

    3. Applied associate-/r*0.5

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

    if -0.03323288645356819 < x < 0.03010910821075468

    1. Initial program 62.2

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

    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 simplification0.2
