Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if (* a x) < -5.290658512887221e-07

    1. Initial program 0.1

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied add-log-exp0.1

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

    if -5.290658512887221e-07 < (* a x)

    1. Initial program 47.1

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]
    2. Taylor expanded around 0 21.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{6} \cdot \left({a}^{3} \cdot {x}^{3}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left({a}^{2} \cdot {x}^{2}\right) + a \cdot x\right)}\]
    3. Taylor expanded around inf 11.8

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