Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.0002001703686491939

    1. Initial program 0.0

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

    3. Applied div-sub0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{e^{x}}{x} - \frac{1}{x}}\]

    if -0.0002001703686491939 < x

    1. Initial program 60.1

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

    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.
