Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes
  2. if y < -1.3246162822228219e+154

    1. Initial program 64.0

      \[\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0

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

    if -1.3246162822228219e+154 < y < -3.3323958962148745e-156 or 5.943562047165467e-173 < y

    1. Initial program 0.7

      \[\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt0.7

      \[\leadsto \frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y} \cdot \sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}}}\]
    4. Applied times-frac0.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{x - y}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}} \cdot \frac{x + y}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}}}\]

    if -3.3323958962148745e-156 < y < 5.943562047165467e-173

    1. Initial program 29.4

      \[\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around inf 14.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{1}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.
  4. Final simplification4.8

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;y \le -1.32461628222282189 \cdot 10^{154}:\\ \;\;\;\;-1\\ \mathbf{elif}\;y \le -3.3323958962148745 \cdot 10^{-156}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{x - y}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}} \cdot \frac{x + y}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;y \le 5.9435620471654667 \cdot 10^{-173}:\\ \;\;\;\;1\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{x - y}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}} \cdot \frac{x + y}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}}\\ \end{array}\]
