Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if x < -1.34207613995245205e154

    1. Initial program 64.0

      \[\sqrt{x \cdot x + y}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 0

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

    3. Simplified0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{y}{x} - x}\]

    if -1.34207613995245205e154 < x < 9.97343611193616951e120

    1. Initial program 0.0

      \[\sqrt{x \cdot x + y}\]

    if 9.97343611193616951e120 < x

    1. Initial program 53.1

      \[\sqrt{x \cdot x + y}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{y}{x}}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \le -1.34207613995245205 \cdot 10^{154}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{y}{x} - x\\ \mathbf{elif}\;x \le 9.97343611193616951 \cdot 10^{120}:\\ \;\;\;\;\sqrt{x \cdot x + y}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;x + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{y}{x}\\ \end{array}\]
