Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (- (exp (* a x)) 1) < -2.2260753947737583e-11

    1. Initial program 0.7

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

    3. Applied add-cube-cbrt0.7

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

    5. Applied add-cube-cbrt0.7

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