Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.0014165720632355826

    1. Initial program 0.0

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

    2. Initial simplification0.0

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

    3. Taylor expanded around -inf 0.0

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

    if -0.0014165720632355826 < x

    1. Initial program 60.2

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

    2. Initial simplification60.2

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

    3. Taylor expanded around 0 0.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{12} \cdot x + \left(\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{2}\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.6

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le -0.0014165720632355826:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{e^{x}}{e^{x} - 1}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{12} \cdot x + \left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{x}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
