Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if x < -1.00640481428112616

   1. Initial program 63.2

      \[\log \left(x + \sqrt{x \cdot x + 1}\right)\]

   2. Taylor expanded around -inf 0.1

      \[\leadsto \log \color{blue}{\left(0.125 \cdot \frac{1}{{x}^{3}} - \left(0.5 \cdot \frac{1}{x} + 0.0625 \cdot \frac{1}{{x}^{5}}\right)\right)}\]

   3. Simplified 0.1

      \[\leadsto \log \color{blue}{\left(\frac{0.125}{{x}^{3}} - \left(\frac{0.5}{x} - \frac{-0.0625}{{x}^{5}}\right)\right)}\]

   if -1.00640481428112616 < x < 0.89236241923565718

   1. Initial program 58.6

      \[\log \left(x + \sqrt{x \cdot x + 1}\right)\]

   2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

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

   if 0.89236241923565718 < x

   1. Initial program 32.5

      \[\log \left(x + \sqrt{x \cdot x + 1}\right)\]

   2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.3

      \[\leadsto \log \left(x + \color{blue}{\left(\left(x + 0.5 \cdot \frac{1}{x}\right) - 0.125 \cdot \frac{1}{{x}^{3}}\right)}\right)\]

   3. Simplified 0.3

      \[\leadsto \log \left(x + \color{blue}{\left(\left(x + \frac{0.5}{x}\right) - \frac{0.125}{{x}^{3}}\right)}\right)\]
3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 0.2

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le -1.00640481428112616:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(\frac{0.125}{{x}^{3}} - \left(\frac{0.5}{x} - \frac{-0.0625}{{x}^{5}}\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{elif}\;x \le 0.89236241923565718:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(\log \left(\sqrt{1}\right) + \frac{x}{\sqrt{1}}\right) - \frac{1}{6} \cdot \frac{{x}^{3}}{{\left(\sqrt{1}\right)}^{3}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(x + \left(\left(x + \frac{0.5}{x}\right) - \frac{0.125}{{x}^{3}}\right)\right)\\ \end{array}\]
