Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.00018107027551956877

    1. Initial program 0.0

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

    3. Applied flip3--0.0

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

    4. Applied associate-/l/0.0

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

    5. Simplified0.0

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

    if -0.00018107027551956877 < x

    1. Initial program 60.2

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.4

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

    4. Applied associate-+r+0.4

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

  4. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le -0.00018107027551956877:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3} - 1}{\left(e^{x} \cdot e^{x} + \left(e^{x} + 1\right)\right) \cdot x}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot {x}^{2} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot x\right) + 1\\ \end{array}\]
