Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.0020505981688974813

    1. Initial program 0.0

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

    3. Applied clear-num0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{e^{x} - 1}{e^{x}}}}\]

    4. Applied simplify0.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{1 - e^{-x}}}\]

    if -0.0020505981688974813 < x

    1. Initial program 60.3

      \[\frac{e^{x}}{e^{x} - 1}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} + \left(\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{12} \cdot x\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
  4. Removed slow pow expressions.
