Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if eps < -0.7127791457499839 or 1.0227397076061673e-5 < eps

    1. Initial program 30.2

      \[\cos \left(x + \varepsilon\right) - \cos x\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied cos-sum0.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\cos x \cdot \cos \varepsilon - \sin x \cdot \sin \varepsilon\right)} - \cos x\]

    if -0.7127791457499839 < eps < 1.0227397076061673e-5

    1. Initial program 49.3

      \[\cos \left(x + \varepsilon\right) - \cos x\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied diff-cos38.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-2 \cdot \left(\sin \left(\frac{\left(x + \varepsilon\right) - x}{2}\right) \cdot \sin \left(\frac{\left(x + \varepsilon\right) + x}{2}\right)\right)}\]

    4. Simplified0.7

      \[\leadsto -2 \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \sin \left(\frac{x + \left(x + \varepsilon\right)}{2}\right)\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.8

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\varepsilon \le -0.7127791457499839 \lor \neg \left(\varepsilon \le 1.0227397076061673 \cdot 10^{-5}\right):\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\cos x \cdot \cos \varepsilon - \sin x \cdot \sin \varepsilon\right) - \cos x\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;-2 \cdot \left(\sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \sin \left(\frac{x + \left(\varepsilon + x\right)}{2}\right)\right)\\ \end{array}\]
