Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if re < -3.6987959759052895e152

    1. Initial program 63.6

      \[\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 7.5

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

    3. Simplified7.5

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

    if -3.6987959759052895e152 < re < 3.7801764104851945e78

    1. Initial program 21.5

      \[\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im}\]

    if 3.7801764104851945e78 < re

    1. Initial program 48.9

      \[\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 12.1

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

  4. Final simplification18.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;re \leq -3.6987959759052895 \cdot 10^{+152}:\\ \;\;\;\;-re\\ \mathbf{elif}\;re \leq 3.7801764104851945 \cdot 10^{+78}:\\ \;\;\;\;\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;re\\ \end{array}\]
