Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < 0.00012470204755623128

    1. Initial program 58.9

      \[\log \left(1 + x\right)\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(x + \frac{1}{3} \cdot {x}^{3}\right) - \frac{1}{2} \cdot {x}^{2}}\]

    3. Simplified0.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x - \left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} - x \cdot \frac{1}{3}\right)}\]

    if 0.00012470204755623128 < x

    1. Initial program 0.1

      \[\log \left(1 + x\right)\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt0.1

      \[\leadsto \log \color{blue}{\left(\sqrt{1 + x} \cdot \sqrt{1 + x}\right)}\]

    4. Applied log-prod0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(\sqrt{1 + x}\right) + \log \left(\sqrt{1 + x}\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le 0.00012470204755623128:\\ \;\;\;\;x - \left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} \cdot x\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(\sqrt{x + 1}\right) + \log \left(\sqrt{x + 1}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
