Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.00016773345600474787

    1. Initial program 0.1

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

    3. Applied flip3--0.1

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

    4. Applied simplify0.1

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

    5. Applied simplify0.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3} - 1}{\color{blue}{e^{x + x} + \left(e^{x} + 1\right)}}}{x}\]

    if -0.00016773345600474787 < x

    1. Initial program 60.1

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.5

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