Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < 0.00010066413071882954

    1. Initial program 59.1

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

    2. Initial simplification59.1

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

    3. Taylor expanded around 0 0.2

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

    4. Simplified0.2

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

    if 0.00010066413071882954 < x

    1. Initial program 0.1

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

    2. Initial simplification0.1

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

  4. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le 0.00010066413071882954:\\ \;\;\;\;x + \left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3} \cdot x - \frac{1}{2}\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(x + 1\right)\\ \end{array}\]
