Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.00014117135627756671

    1. Initial program 0.1

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 0.1

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

    3. Simplified0.1

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

    if -0.00014117135627756671 < x

    1. Initial program 60.2

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.5

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

    3. Simplified0.5

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

  4. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le -0.00014117135627756671:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{e^{x} + -1}{x}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot x + \frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right) + x}{x}\\ \end{array}\]
