Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.021785978219153415 or 0.0233240991761577872 < x

    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. Applied associate-/l/1.0

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

    5. Simplified1.0

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

    if -0.021785978219153415 < x < 0.0233240991761577872

    1. Initial program 59.8

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{24} \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(\frac{1}{240} \cdot {x}^{5} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot x\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.5

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le -0.021785978219153415 \lor \neg \left(x \le 0.0233240991761577872\right):\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{{1}^{3} - {\left(\cos x\right)}^{3}}{\left(\cos x \cdot \left(\cos x + 1\right) + 1 \cdot 1\right) \cdot \sin x}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{24} \cdot {x}^{3} + \left(\frac{1}{240} \cdot {x}^{5} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot x\right)\\ \end{array}\]
