Derivation

  1. Initial program 39.7

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

  3. Applied diff-cos34.0

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

  4. Simplified14.6

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

  5. Taylor expanded around inf 14.6

    \[\leadsto -2 \cdot \left(\sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\sin \left(0.5 \cdot \left(2 \cdot x + \varepsilon\right)\right)}\right)\]

  6. Simplified14.6

    \[\leadsto -2 \cdot \left(\sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\sin \left(x + \varepsilon \cdot 0.5\right)}\right)\]
  7. Using strategy rm

  8. Applied sin-sum0.4

    \[\leadsto -2 \cdot \left(\sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\sin x \cdot \cos \left(\varepsilon \cdot 0.5\right) + \cos x \cdot \sin \left(\varepsilon \cdot 0.5\right)\right)}\right)\]
  9. Using strategy rm

  10. Applied distribute-lft-in0.4

    \[\leadsto -2 \cdot \color{blue}{\left(\sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \left(\sin x \cdot \cos \left(\varepsilon \cdot 0.5\right)\right) + \sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \left(\cos x \cdot \sin \left(\varepsilon \cdot 0.5\right)\right)\right)}\]

  11. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto -2 \cdot \left(\sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \left(\sin x \cdot \cos \left(\varepsilon \cdot 0.5\right)\right) + \sin \left(\frac{\varepsilon}{2}\right) \cdot \left(\cos x \cdot \sin \left(\varepsilon \cdot 0.5\right)\right)\right)\]
