Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.00014600455136479365

    1. Initial program 0.0

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

    3. Applied add-log-exp0.0

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

    if -0.00014600455136479365 < x

    1. Initial program 60.2

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

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