Derivation

  1. Initial program 43.6

    \[\left(0.5 \cdot \sin re\right) \cdot \left(e^{-im} - e^{im}\right)\]
  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.7

    \[\leadsto \left(0.5 \cdot \sin re\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\left(-\left(\frac{1}{3} \cdot {im}^{3} + \left(\frac{1}{60} \cdot {im}^{5} + 2 \cdot im\right)\right)\right)}\]
  3. Simplified0.7

    \[\leadsto \left(0.5 \cdot \sin re\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\frac{-1}{3} \cdot {im}^{3} - \left(\frac{1}{60} \cdot {im}^{5} + 2 \cdot im\right)\right)}\]
  4. Final simplification0.7

    \[\leadsto \left(0.5 \cdot \sin re\right) \cdot \left(\frac{-1}{3} \cdot {im}^{3} - \left(\frac{1}{60} \cdot {im}^{5} + 2 \cdot im\right)\right)\]
