Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.5

    \[\cos^{-1} \left(\frac{1 - 5 \cdot \left(v \cdot v\right)}{v \cdot v - 1}\right)\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.7

    \[\leadsto \cos^{-1} \color{blue}{\left(\left(4 \cdot {v}^{2} + 4 \cdot {v}^{4}\right) - 1\right)}\]

  3. Simplified0.7

    \[\leadsto \cos^{-1} \color{blue}{\left(4 \cdot \left({v}^{2} + {v}^{4}\right) - 1\right)}\]

  4. Final simplification0.7

    \[\leadsto \cos^{-1} \left(4 \cdot \left({v}^{2} + {v}^{4}\right) - 1\right)\]
