Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes.

  2. if (* a x) < -1.425908280516283e-19

    1. Initial program 1.7

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

    3. Applied add-cube-cbrt 1.7

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1}}\]
    4. Using strategy rm

    5. Applied add-sqr-sqrt 1.7

      \[\leadsto \left(\sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{\color{blue}{\sqrt{e^{a \cdot x}} \cdot \sqrt{e^{a \cdot x}}} - 1}\]

    6. Applied difference-of-sqr-1 1.7

      \[\leadsto \left(\sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{\color{blue}{\left(\sqrt{e^{a \cdot x}} + 1\right) \cdot \left(\sqrt{e^{a \cdot x}} - 1\right)}}\]
    7. Using strategy rm

    8. Applied add-log-exp 1.7

      \[\leadsto \left(\sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{\left(\sqrt{e^{a \cdot x}} + 1\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\log \left(e^{\sqrt{e^{a \cdot x}} - 1}\right)}}\]

    if -1.425908280516283e-19 < (* a x)

    1. Initial program 47.1

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 17.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{6} \cdot \left({a}^{3} \cdot {x}^{3}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left({a}^{2} \cdot {x}^{2}\right) + a \cdot x\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
  4. Removed slow pow expressions
