Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if eps < -3.838424609573239e-59

   1. Initial program 49.4

      \[\frac{\varepsilon \cdot \left(e^{\left(a + b\right) \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right)}{\left(e^{a \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right) \cdot \left(e^{b \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right)}\]

   2. Simplified15.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{(e^{\left(a + b\right) \cdot \varepsilon} - 1)^* \cdot \varepsilon}{(e^{\varepsilon \cdot b} - 1)^* \cdot (e^{\varepsilon \cdot a} - 1)^*}}\]
   3. Using strategy rm

   4. Applied times-frac5.2

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{(e^{\left(a + b\right) \cdot \varepsilon} - 1)^*}{(e^{\varepsilon \cdot b} - 1)^*} \cdot \frac{\varepsilon}{(e^{\varepsilon \cdot a} - 1)^*}}\]

   if -3.838424609573239e-59 < eps

   1. Initial program 59.3

      \[\frac{\varepsilon \cdot \left(e^{\left(a + b\right) \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right)}{\left(e^{a \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right) \cdot \left(e^{b \cdot \varepsilon} - 1\right)}\]

   2. Simplified41.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{(e^{\left(a + b\right) \cdot \varepsilon} - 1)^* \cdot \varepsilon}{(e^{\varepsilon \cdot b} - 1)^* \cdot (e^{\varepsilon \cdot a} - 1)^*}}\]

   3. Taylor expanded around 0 2.7

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b}}\]
3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification2.9

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\varepsilon \le -3.838424609573239 \cdot 10^{-59}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{(e^{\left(a + b\right) \cdot \varepsilon} - 1)^*}{(e^{b \cdot \varepsilon} - 1)^*} \cdot \frac{\varepsilon}{(e^{a \cdot \varepsilon} - 1)^*}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{a}\\ \end{array}\]
