\[6 \cdot x - 9 \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.3

    \[\left(3 \cdot \left(2 - x \cdot 3\right)\right) \cdot x\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{6 \cdot x - 9 \cdot {x}^{2}}\]

  3. Simplified0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x \cdot \left(6 - 9 \cdot x\right)}\]

  4. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto x \cdot \left(6 - 9 \cdot x\right)\]
