Derivation

  1. Initial program 58.6

    \[\log \left(\frac{1 - \varepsilon}{1 + \varepsilon}\right)\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.7

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

  3. Simplified0.7

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(2, \varepsilon \cdot \varepsilon - \mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{\varepsilon}{1}, \frac{\varepsilon}{1}, \varepsilon\right), \log 1\right)}\]

  4. Final simplification0.7

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(2, \varepsilon \cdot \varepsilon - \mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{\varepsilon}{1}, \frac{\varepsilon}{1}, \varepsilon\right), \log 1\right)\]
