Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (* a x) < -0.00041023891212148034

    1. Initial program 0.0

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

    3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt0.0

      \[\leadsto e^{a \cdot x} - \color{blue}{\sqrt{1} \cdot \sqrt{1}}\]

    4. Applied add-sqr-sqrt0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\sqrt{e^{a \cdot x}} \cdot \sqrt{e^{a \cdot x}}} - \sqrt{1} \cdot \sqrt{1}\]

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

    if -0.00041023891212148034 < (* a x)

    1. Initial program 44.8

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

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

    3. Simplified14.6

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

    5. Applied pow-prod-down4.7

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