Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes.
  2. if (* a x) < -9.437845517826107e-14

    1. Initial program 0.8

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied flip-- 0.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{{\left(e^{a \cdot x}\right)}^2 - {1}^2}{e^{a \cdot x} + 1}}\]

    if -9.437845517826107e-14 < (* a x)

    1. Initial program 48.0

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]
    2. Applied taylor 43.3

      \[\leadsto \left(1 + \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left({a}^2 \cdot {x}^2\right) + a \cdot x\right)\right) - 1\]
    3. Taylor expanded around 0 43.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(1 + \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left({a}^2 \cdot {x}^2\right) + a \cdot x\right)\right)} - 1\]
    4. Applied simplify 0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(a \cdot x + 0\right) + {\left(a \cdot x\right)}^2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}}\]
    5. Applied simplify 0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x \cdot a} + {\left(a \cdot x\right)}^2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
  4. Removed slow pow expressions
