Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if x < -0.00013592676717935897

    1. Initial program 0.1

      \[\frac{e^{x} - 1}{x}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied add-cube-cbrt0.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\left(\sqrt[3]{e^{x} - 1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{x} - 1}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{x} - 1}}}{x}\]
    4. Using strategy rm
    5. Applied add-cube-cbrt0.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{\left(\sqrt[3]{e^{x} - 1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{x} - 1}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{\color{blue}{\left(\sqrt[3]{e^{x} - 1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{x} - 1}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{x} - 1}}}}{x}\]
    6. Applied cbrt-prod0.1

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

    if -0.00013592676717935897 < x

    1. Initial program 60.3

      \[\frac{e^{x} - 1}{x}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.5

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