Derivation

  1. Initial program 59.8

    \[\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{\tan x} \]
  2. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.3333333333333333 \cdot x + 0.022222222222222223 \cdot {x}^{3}} \]
  3. Applied egg-rr29.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{0.3333333333333333 \cdot x + -0.022222222222222223 \cdot {x}^{3}}{{\left(0.3333333333333333 \cdot x\right)}^{2} - 0.0004938271604938272 \cdot {x}^{6}}}} \]
  4. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.5

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{3 \cdot \frac{1}{x} + -0.2 \cdot x}} \]
  5. Applied egg-rr0.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{x}{3}}} + -0.2 \cdot x} \]
  6. Final simplification0.2
