Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (* a x) < -173.65326083361478

    1. Initial program 0

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied add-cbrt-cube0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\sqrt[3]{\left(\left(e^{a \cdot x} - 1\right) \cdot \left(e^{a \cdot x} - 1\right)\right) \cdot \left(e^{a \cdot x} - 1\right)}}\]

    4. Simplified0

      \[\leadsto \sqrt[3]{\color{blue}{{\left(e^{a \cdot x} - 1\right)}^{3}}}\]

    if -173.65326083361478 < (* a x)

    1. Initial program 44.1

      \[e^{a \cdot x} - 1\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 14.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left({a}^{2} \cdot {x}^{2}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{6} \cdot \left({a}^{3} \cdot {x}^{3}\right) + a \cdot x\right)}\]

    3. Simplified4.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x \cdot \left(a + x \cdot \left({a}^{2} \cdot \left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\right)\right)}\]
    4. Using strategy rm

    5. Applied associate-*r*4.9

      \[\leadsto x \cdot \left(a + \color{blue}{\left(x \cdot {a}^{2}\right) \cdot \left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\right)}\right)\]

    6. Simplified0.7

      \[\leadsto x \cdot \left(a + \color{blue}{\left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot a\right)} \cdot \left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\right)\]
    7. Using strategy rm

    8. Applied distribute-lft-in0.7

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x \cdot a + x \cdot \left(\left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\right)}\]

    9. Simplified0.7

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{a \cdot x} + x \cdot \left(\left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\right)\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.5

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;a \cdot x \le -173.653260833614780267453170381486415863:\\ \;\;\;\;\sqrt[3]{{\left(e^{a \cdot x} - 1\right)}^{3}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;a \cdot x + x \cdot \left(\left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot a\right) \cdot \left(\left(a \cdot x\right) \cdot \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\right)\\ \end{array}\]
