Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if x < -1.3381011091856478e+154 or 12259358.240822887 < x

    1. Initial program 39.9

      \[\frac{x}{x \cdot x + 1}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{1}{{x}^{5}} + \frac{1}{x}\right) - \frac{1}{{x}^{3}}}\]
    3. Simplified0

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

    if -1.3381011091856478e+154 < x < 12259358.240822887

    1. Initial program 0.1

      \[\frac{x}{x \cdot x + 1}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt0.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{x}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + 1} \cdot \sqrt{x \cdot x + 1}}}\]
    4. Applied associate-/r*0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{x}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + 1}}}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + 1}}}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
  4. Final simplification0.0

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le -1.3381011091856478 \cdot 10^{+154}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\frac{1}{{x}^{5}} + \frac{1}{x}\right) - \frac{1}{\left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot x}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;x \le 12259358.240822887:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{x}{\sqrt{1 + x \cdot x}}}{\sqrt{1 + x \cdot x}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\frac{1}{{x}^{5}} + \frac{1}{x}\right) - \frac{1}{\left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot x}\\ \end{array}\]
