Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if x < -0.021854661524483378

    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. Simplified1.0

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