Derivation

  1. Initial program 29.2

    \[\left(e^{x} - 2\right) + e^{-x}\]

  2. Simplified29.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{e^{x} + \left(e^{-x} - 2\right)}\]

  3. Taylor expanded around 0 0.6

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{{x}^{2} + \left(0.002777777777777778 \cdot {x}^{6} + 0.08333333333333333 \cdot {x}^{4}\right)}\]
