Derivation

  1. Initial program 58.5

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

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-\left(0.4 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{5} + \left(2 \cdot \varepsilon + 0.6666666666666666 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{3}\right)\right)}\]

  3. Simplified0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{{\varepsilon}^{3} \cdot -0.6666666666666666 - \left(0.4 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{5} + \left(\varepsilon + \varepsilon\right)\right)}\]
  4. Using strategy rm

  5. Applied associate--r+_binary64_10370.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left({\varepsilon}^{3} \cdot -0.6666666666666666 - 0.4 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{5}\right) - \left(\varepsilon + \varepsilon\right)}\]

  6. Simplified0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(-0.6666666666666666 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{3} - 0.4 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{5}\right)} - \left(\varepsilon + \varepsilon\right)\]

  7. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \left(-0.6666666666666666 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{3} - 0.4 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{5}\right) - \left(\varepsilon + \varepsilon\right)\]
