Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if y < -3.66304704218171192e151

    1. Initial program 63.0

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

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0

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

    if -3.66304704218171192e151 < y < -1.90429670885749003e-161 or 4.6010026275041676e-164 < y

    1. Initial program 0.2

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

    if -1.90429670885749003e-161 < y < 4.6010026275041676e-164

    1. Initial program 31.0

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 16.1

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

  4. Final simplification5.2

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;y \le -3.66304704218171192 \cdot 10^{151}:\\ \;\;\;\;-1\\ \mathbf{elif}\;y \le -1.90429670885749003 \cdot 10^{-161}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;y \le 4.6010026275041676 \cdot 10^{-164}:\\ \;\;\;\;1\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\\ \end{array}\]
