\[-2 \cdot \left(\left(\varepsilon + \frac{{\varepsilon}^{3}}{3}\right) + \frac{{\varepsilon}^{5}}{5}\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 58.4

    \[\log \left(\frac{1 - \varepsilon}{1 + \varepsilon}\right)\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.7

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(2 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{2} + \log 1\right) - \left(2 \cdot \frac{{\varepsilon}^{2}}{{1}^{2}} + 2 \cdot \varepsilon\right)}\]

  3. Simplified0.7

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log 1 + 2 \cdot \left(\varepsilon \cdot \varepsilon - \left(\varepsilon + \frac{\varepsilon}{1} \cdot \frac{\varepsilon}{1}\right)\right)}\]

  4. Final simplification0.7

    \[\leadsto \log 1 + 2 \cdot \left(\varepsilon \cdot \varepsilon - \left(\varepsilon + \frac{\varepsilon}{1} \cdot \frac{\varepsilon}{1}\right)\right)\]
