\[\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\]

Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if (/ (- 1.0 (cos x)) (sin x)) < -0.0033460593144995152

   1. Initial program 0.9

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

   3. Applied flip3-- 1.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{{1}^{3} - {\left(\cos x\right)}^{3}}{1 \cdot 1 + \left(\cos x \cdot \cos x + 1 \cdot \cos x\right)}}}{\sin x}\]

   4. Simplified 1.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{{1}^{3} - {\left(\cos x\right)}^{3}}{\color{blue}{\cos x \cdot \left(\cos x + 1\right) + 1 \cdot 1}}}{\sin x}\]
   5. Using strategy rm

   6. Applied add-cbrt-cube 1.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{{1}^{3} - \color{blue}{\sqrt[3]{\left({\left(\cos x\right)}^{3} \cdot {\left(\cos x\right)}^{3}\right) \cdot {\left(\cos x\right)}^{3}}}}{\cos x \cdot \left(\cos x + 1\right) + 1 \cdot 1}}{\sin x}\]

   7. Simplified 1.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{{1}^{3} - \sqrt[3]{\color{blue}{{\left({\left(\cos x\right)}^{3}\right)}^{3}}}}{\cos x \cdot \left(\cos x + 1\right) + 1 \cdot 1}}{\sin x}\]
   8. Using strategy rm

   9. Applied pow-pow 1.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{{1}^{3} - \sqrt[3]{\color{blue}{{\left(\cos x\right)}^{\left(3 \cdot 3\right)}}}}{\cos x \cdot \left(\cos x + 1\right) + 1 \cdot 1}}{\sin x}\]

   10. Simplified 1.1

       \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{{1}^{3} - \sqrt[3]{{\left(\cos x\right)}^{\color{blue}{9}}}}{\cos x \cdot \left(\cos x + 1\right) + 1 \cdot 1}}{\sin x}\]

   if -0.0033460593144995152 < (/ (- 1.0 (cos x)) (sin x)) < 0.0

   1. Initial program 60.2

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

   2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{24} \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(\frac{1}{240} \cdot {x}^{5} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot x\right)}\]

   if 0.0 < (/ (- 1.0 (cos x)) (sin x))

   1. Initial program 1.6

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

   3. Applied add-cbrt-cube 1.8

      \[\leadsto \frac{1 - \cos x}{\color{blue}{\sqrt[3]{\left(\sin x \cdot \sin x\right) \cdot \sin x}}}\]

   4. Applied add-cbrt-cube 1.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\sqrt[3]{\left(\left(1 - \cos x\right) \cdot \left(1 - \cos x\right)\right) \cdot \left(1 - \cos x\right)}}}{\sqrt[3]{\left(\sin x \cdot \sin x\right) \cdot \sin x}}\]

   5. Applied cbrt-undiv 1.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\sqrt[3]{\frac{\left(\left(1 - \cos x\right) \cdot \left(1 - \cos x\right)\right) \cdot \left(1 - \cos x\right)}{\left(\sin x \cdot \sin x\right) \cdot \sin x}}}\]

   6. Simplified 1.8

      \[\leadsto \sqrt[3]{\color{blue}{{\left(\frac{1 - \cos x}{\sin x}\right)}^{3}}}\]
3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 0.8

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{1 - \cos x}{\sin x} \le -0.0033460593144995152:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{{1}^{3} - \sqrt[3]{{\left(\cos x\right)}^{9}}}{\cos x \cdot \left(\cos x + 1\right) + 1 \cdot 1}}{\sin x}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;\frac{1 - \cos x}{\sin x} \le 0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{24} \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(\frac{1}{240} \cdot {x}^{5} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot x\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\sqrt[3]{{\left(\frac{1 - \cos x}{\sin x}\right)}^{3}}\\ \end{array}\]
