Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.0330713375927003048 or 0.0361628703601469467 < x

    1. Initial program 0.9

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

    3. Applied associate-/r*0.4

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

    5. Applied div-sub0.6

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{1}{x} - \frac{\cos x}{x}}}{x}\]

    6. Applied div-sub0.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{1}{x}}{x} - \frac{\frac{\cos x}{x}}{x}}\]

    if -0.0330713375927003048 < x < 0.0361628703601469467

    1. Initial program 61.9

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{1}{720} \cdot {x}^{4} + \frac{1}{2}\right) - \frac{1}{24} \cdot {x}^{2}}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.4
