Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if eps < -2.84555e-7

    1. Initial program 30.3

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

    3. Applied cos-sum_binary64_4241.0

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

    if -2.84555e-7 < eps < 0.0274858

    1. Initial program 49.3

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

    3. Applied diff-cos_binary64_44137.7

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

    4. Simplified0.6

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

    if 0.0274858 < eps

    1. Initial program 29.9

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

    3. Applied cos-sum_binary64_4240.8

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

    4. Applied associate--l-_binary64_6310.8

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

    5. Simplified0.8

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

  4. Final simplification0.7
