Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (+ 1 x) < 1.0

    1. Initial program 59.4

      \[\log \left(1 + x\right)\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

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

    3. Simplified0.3

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

    if 1.0 < (+ 1 x)

    1. Initial program 1.3

      \[\log \left(1 + x\right)\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.6

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x + 1 \le 1.0:\\ \;\;\;\;x + \left(\frac{1}{3} \cdot x - \frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(x + 1\right)\\ \end{array}\]
