Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if i < -3905150655849648

   1. Initial program 27.3

      \[100 \cdot \frac{{\left(1 + \frac{i}{n}\right)}^{n} - 1}{\frac{i}{n}}\]

   2. Taylor expanded around inf 64.0

      \[\leadsto 100 \cdot \color{blue}{\frac{\left(e^{\left(\log \left(\frac{1}{n}\right) - \log \left(\frac{1}{i}\right)\right) \cdot n} - 1\right) \cdot n}{i}}\]

   3. Simplified 17.8

      \[\leadsto 100 \cdot \color{blue}{\frac{-1 + {\left(\frac{i}{n}\right)}^{n}}{\frac{i}{n}}}\]

   if -3905150655849648 < i < 9.837932042159025

   1. Initial program 58.0

      \[100 \cdot \frac{{\left(1 + \frac{i}{n}\right)}^{n} - 1}{\frac{i}{n}}\]

   2. Taylor expanded around 0 26.8

      \[\leadsto 100 \cdot \frac{\color{blue}{0.16666666666666666 \cdot {i}^{3} + \left(0.5 \cdot {i}^{2} + i\right)}}{\frac{i}{n}}\]

   3. Simplified 26.8

      \[\leadsto 100 \cdot \frac{\color{blue}{i + \left(i \cdot i\right) \cdot \left(0.5 + 0.16666666666666666 \cdot i\right)}}{\frac{i}{n}}\]

   4. Taylor expanded around 0 10.5

      \[\leadsto 100 \cdot \color{blue}{\left(0.5 \cdot \left(i \cdot n\right) + \left(n + 0.16666666666666666 \cdot \left({i}^{2} \cdot n\right)\right)\right)}\]

   5. Simplified 10.5

      \[\leadsto 100 \cdot \color{blue}{\left(n + n \cdot \left(i \cdot \left(0.5 + i \cdot 0.16666666666666666\right)\right)\right)}\]

   if 9.837932042159025 < i

   1. Initial program 32.2

      \[100 \cdot \frac{{\left(1 + \frac{i}{n}\right)}^{n} - 1}{\frac{i}{n}}\]

   2. Taylor expanded around 0 30.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0}\]
3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 14.7

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;i \leq -3905150655849648:\\ \;\;\;\;100 \cdot \frac{-1 + {\left(\frac{i}{n}\right)}^{n}}{\frac{i}{n}}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;i \leq 9.837932042159025:\\ \;\;\;\;100 \cdot \left(n + n \cdot \left(i \cdot \left(0.5 + i \cdot 0.16666666666666666\right)\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;0\\ \end{array}\]
