Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (+ 1.0 x) < 1.0000074622806896

    1. Initial program 59.1

      \[\log \left(1 + x\right)\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied flip3-+59.2

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

    4. Applied log-div59.1

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

    5. Simplified59.1

      \[\leadsto \log \left({1}^{3} + {x}^{3}\right) - \color{blue}{\log \left(\mathsf{fma}\left(1, 1, x \cdot \left(x - 1\right)\right)\right)}\]

    6. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3
