Bits error versus x

Derivation

  1. Initial program 58.0

    \[\frac{e^{x} - e^{-x}}{2}\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.5

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{1}{3} \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(\frac{1}{60} \cdot {x}^{5} + 2 \cdot x\right)}}{2}\]

  3. Final simplification0.5

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{1}{3} \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(\frac{1}{60} \cdot {x}^{5} + 2 \cdot x\right)}{2}\]
