Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if x < -8.076456897378192e+62 or 2806489.9004286886 < x

    1. Initial program 33.0

      \[\frac{x}{x \cdot x + 1}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied flip-+52.6

      \[\leadsto \frac{x}{\color{blue}{\frac{\left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right) - 1 \cdot 1}{x \cdot x - 1}}}\]
    4. Applied associate-/r/52.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{x}{\left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right) - 1 \cdot 1} \cdot \left(x \cdot x - 1\right)}\]
    5. Taylor expanded around inf 0.0

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