  1. Initial program 58.0

    \[\frac{e^{x} - e^{-x}}{e^{x} + e^{-x}}\]

  2. Simplified0.7

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{1 \cdot \frac{\mathsf{expm1}\left(x + x\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(1, 1, e^{x + x}\right)}}\]

  3. Final simplification0.7

    \[\leadsto \frac{\mathsf{expm1}\left(x + x\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(1, 1, e^{x + x}\right)}\]
