Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if (/ (- 1.0 (cos x)) (sin x)) < -0.024202856416083905

    1. Initial program 0.8

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

    3. Applied clear-num0.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{\sin x}{1 - \cos x}}}\]
    4. Using strategy rm

    5. Applied flip3--0.9

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

    6. Simplified0.9

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

    if -0.024202856416083905 < (/ (- 1.0 (cos x)) (sin x)) < -0.0

    1. Initial program 59.7

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.5

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

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

    1. Initial program 1.4

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

    3. Applied add-log-exp1.5

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

  4. Final simplification0.9

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{1 - \cos x}{\sin x} \le -0.024202856416083905:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{\frac{\sin x}{\frac{{1}^{3} - {\left(\cos x\right)}^{3}}{\cos x \cdot \left(\cos x + 1\right) + 1 \cdot 1}}}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;\frac{1 - \cos x}{\sin x} \le -0.0:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{24} \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(\frac{1}{240} \cdot {x}^{5} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot x\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(e^{\frac{1 - \cos x}{\sin x}}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
