Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes
  2. if x < -1.3694640831062883e+154

    1. Initial program 64.0

      \[\sqrt{x \cdot x + y}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied *-un-lft-identity64.0

      \[\leadsto \sqrt{\color{blue}{1 \cdot \left(x \cdot x + y\right)}}\]
    4. Applied sqrt-prod64.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\sqrt{1} \cdot \sqrt{x \cdot x + y}}\]
    5. Simplified64.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{1} \cdot \sqrt{x \cdot x + y}\]
    6. Simplified31.0

      \[\leadsto 1 \cdot \color{blue}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(x, {y}^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)}\]
    7. Taylor expanded around -inf 0

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

    if -1.3694640831062883e+154 < x < 8.439081781731016e+104

    if 8.439081781731016e+104 < x

    1. Initial program 49.3

      \[\sqrt{x \cdot x + y}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{y}{x}}\]
    3. Simplified0.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{y}{x}, x\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.
  4. Final simplification0.2
