Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (* a x) < -5.14256349270237e-19

    1. Initial program 1.3

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

    3. Applied add-cube-cbrt1.3

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

    5. Applied add-cube-cbrt1.3

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

    6. Applied cbrt-prod1.3

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

    if -5.14256349270237e-19 < (* a x)

    1. Initial program 44.2

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 13.1

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

    3. Simplified13.1

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

  4. Final simplification9.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;a \cdot x \le -5.14256349270236967 \cdot 10^{-19}:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1}\right) \cdot \left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1}} \cdot \sqrt[3]{\sqrt[3]{e^{a \cdot x} - 1}}\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;x \cdot \left(a + \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot {a}^{2}\right) \cdot x\right) + \frac{1}{6} \cdot \left({a}^{3} \cdot {x}^{3}\right)\\ \end{array}\]
