Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (/ (* (* y 2.0) z) (- (* (* z 2.0) z) (* y t))) < +inf.0

    1. Initial program 3.6

      \[x - \frac{\left(y \cdot 2\right) \cdot z}{\left(z \cdot 2\right) \cdot z - y \cdot t}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied *-un-lft-identity3.6

      \[\leadsto x - \frac{\left(y \cdot 2\right) \cdot z}{\color{blue}{1 \cdot \left(\left(z \cdot 2\right) \cdot z - y \cdot t\right)}}\]

    4. Applied times-frac2.0

      \[\leadsto x - \color{blue}{\frac{y \cdot 2}{1} \cdot \frac{z}{\left(z \cdot 2\right) \cdot z - y \cdot t}}\]

    5. Simplified2.0

      \[\leadsto x - \color{blue}{\left(y \cdot 2\right)} \cdot \frac{z}{\left(z \cdot 2\right) \cdot z - y \cdot t}\]

    6. Simplified2.0

      \[\leadsto x - \left(y \cdot 2\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\frac{z}{2 \cdot {z}^{2} - t \cdot y}}\]

    if +inf.0 < (/ (* (* y 2.0) z) (- (* (* z 2.0) z) (* y t)))

    1. Initial program 64.0

      \[x - \frac{\left(y \cdot 2\right) \cdot z}{\left(z \cdot 2\right) \cdot z - y \cdot t}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 25.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification5.2

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{\left(y \cdot 2\right) \cdot z}{\left(z \cdot 2\right) \cdot z - y \cdot t} \le +inf.0:\\ \;\;\;\;x - \left(y \cdot 2\right) \cdot \frac{z}{2 \cdot {z}^{2} - t \cdot y}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;x\\ \end{array}\]
