Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (* a x) < -1.3200301401961525e-10

    1. Initial program 0.3

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

    3. Applied add-log-exp0.3

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

    if -1.3200301401961525e-10 < (* a x)

    1. Initial program 47.9

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 22.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{6} \cdot \left({a}^{3} \cdot {x}^{3}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left({a}^{2} \cdot {x}^{2}\right) + a \cdot x\right)}\]

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 12.6

      \[\leadsto \frac{1}{6} \cdot \color{blue}{0} + \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left({a}^{2} \cdot {x}^{2}\right) + a \cdot x\right)\]

    4. Applied simplify0.1

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