\[\left(-z\right) \cdot \left(\left(0.5 \cdot \left(y \cdot y\right) + y\right) + \frac{0.333333333333333315}{1 \cdot \left(1 \cdot 1\right)} \cdot \left(y \cdot \left(y \cdot y\right)\right)\right) - \left(t - x \cdot \log y\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 9.3

    \[\left(x \cdot \log y + z \cdot \log \left(1 - y\right)\right) - t\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

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

  3. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto \left(x \cdot \log y + z \cdot \left(\log 1 - \left(1 \cdot y + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{{y}^{2}}{{1}^{2}}\right)\right)\right) - t\]
