Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if y < -3.2036592240457095e+152

    1. Initial program 63.3

      \[\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-1}\]

    if -3.2036592240457095e+152 < y < -6.987457183095222e-161 or 1.7735426966161355e-162 < y

    1. Initial program 0.0

      \[\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\]

    if -6.987457183095222e-161 < y < 1.7735426966161355e-162

    1. Initial program 30.3

      \[\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 16.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{1}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification5.2

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;y \le -3.20365922404570947 \cdot 10^{152}:\\ \;\;\;\;-1\\ \mathbf{elif}\;y \le -6.98745718309522193 \cdot 10^{-161}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;y \le 1.7735426966161355 \cdot 10^{-162}:\\ \;\;\;\;1\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\\ \end{array}\]
