Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if (/ (- (exp x) 1) x) < -0.0 or 2.3619944064204065e-12 < (/ (- (exp x) 1) x)

    1. Initial program 58.8

      \[\frac{e^{x} - 1}{x}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around 0 1.7

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

    if -0.0 < (/ (- (exp x) 1) x) < 2.3619944064204065e-12

    1. Initial program 0

      \[\frac{e^{x} - 1}{x}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied flip3--0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3} - {1}^{3}}{e^{x} \cdot e^{x} + \left(1 \cdot 1 + e^{x} \cdot 1\right)}}}{x}\]
    4. Applied simplify0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3} - 1}}{e^{x} \cdot e^{x} + \left(1 \cdot 1 + e^{x} \cdot 1\right)}}{x}\]
    5. Applied simplify0

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