Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes.
  2. if (* a x) < -4.230530163534557e-06

    1. Initial program 0.1

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied add-log-exp 0.1

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

    if -4.230530163534557e-06 < (* a x)

    1. Initial program 47.5

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]
    2. Applied taylor 43.6

      \[\leadsto \left(a \cdot x + \left(1 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left({a}^{2} \cdot {x}^{2}\right)\right)\right) - 1\]
    3. Taylor expanded around 0 43.6

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

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