Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -4.979327422313829e+16 or 405.8477159697216 < x

    1. Initial program 31.5

      \[\frac{x}{x \cdot x + 1}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied flip-+48.3

      \[\leadsto \frac{x}{\color{blue}{\frac{\left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right) - 1 \cdot 1}{x \cdot x - 1}}}\]

    4. Applied associate-/r/48.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{x}{\left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right) - 1 \cdot 1} \cdot \left(x \cdot x - 1\right)}\]

    5. Taylor expanded around inf 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{1}{{x}^{5}} + \frac{1}{x}\right) - \frac{1}{{x}^{3}}}\]

    if -4.979327422313829e+16 < x < 405.8477159697216

    4. Applied associate-/r/0.0

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