Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if (* a x) < -896.1920870623062

   1. Initial program 0

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

   2. Taylor expanded around -inf 0

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

   if -896.1920870623062 < (* a x)

   1. Initial program 44.3

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

   2. Taylor expanded around 0 14.2

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

   3. Simplified0.8

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

4. Final simplification0.6

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;a \cdot x \le -896.1920870623062:\\ \;\;\;\;e^{a \cdot x} - 1\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\frac{1}{2} + a \cdot \left(x \cdot \frac{1}{6}\right)\right) \cdot \left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(a \cdot x\right)\right) + a \cdot x\\ \end{array}\]
