Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (* a x) < -16.795804988711907

    1. Initial program 0

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]

    2. Initial simplification0

      \[\leadsto e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]

    3. Taylor expanded around -inf 0

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

    if -16.795804988711907 < (* a x)

    1. Initial program 44.2

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]

    2. Initial simplification44.2

      \[\leadsto e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]

    3. Taylor expanded around 0 14.3

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

    4. Simplified0.7

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

  4. Final simplification0.5

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;a \cdot x \le -16.795804988711907:\\ \;\;\;\;e^{a \cdot x} - 1\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\frac{1}{2} + a \cdot \left(x \cdot \frac{1}{6}\right)\right) \cdot \left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(a \cdot x\right)\right) + a \cdot x\\ \end{array}\]
