Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if (* a x) < -0.14091949297782305

   1. Initial program 0.0

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

   3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt0.0

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

   4. Applied difference-of-sqr-10.0

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

   if -0.14091949297782305 < (* a x)

   1. Initial program 44.2

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

   2. Taylor expanded around 0 13.8

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

   3. Simplified0.5

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

4. Final simplification0.3

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;a \cdot x \le -0.14091949297782305:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\sqrt{e^{a \cdot x}} - 1\right) \cdot \left(1 + \sqrt{e^{a \cdot x}}\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;a \cdot x + \left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(a \cdot x\right)\right) \cdot \left(\left(x \cdot \frac{1}{6}\right) \cdot a + \frac{1}{2}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
