Derivation

1. Initial program 47.23

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

2. Simplified 0

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

   [Start] 47.23	\[ \frac{1 - \cos x}{\sin x} \]
   hang-p0-tan [=>] 0	\[ \color{blue}{\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)} \]

3. Final simplification 0

   \[\leadsto \tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \]
