Derivation

  1. Initial program 31.7

    \[\frac{1 - \cos x}{x \cdot x} \]

  2. Applied egg-rr16.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{\sin x \cdot \sin x}{1 + \cos x}}}{x \cdot x} \]

  3. Taylor expanded in x around inf 16.0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{{\sin x}^{2}}{\left(1 + \cos x\right) \cdot {x}^{2}}} \]

  4. Applied egg-rr16.2

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

  5. Applied egg-rr0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\tan \left(x \cdot 0.5\right) \cdot \frac{\sin x}{x}}{x}} \]

  6. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \frac{\tan \left(x \cdot 0.5\right) \cdot \frac{\sin x}{x}}{x} \]
