Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.0013560797573243535

    1. Initial program 0.0

      \[\frac{e^{x} - 1}{x}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied flip3--_binary64_17870.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3} - {1}^{3}}{e^{x} \cdot e^{x} + \left(1 \cdot 1 + e^{x} \cdot 1\right)}}}{x}\]

    4. Simplified0.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{-1 + {\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3}}}{e^{x} \cdot e^{x} + \left(1 \cdot 1 + e^{x} \cdot 1\right)}}{x}\]

    5. Simplified0.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{-1 + {\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3}}{\color{blue}{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{2} + \left(e^{x} + 1\right)}}}{x}\]
    6. Using strategy rm

    7. Applied add-log-exp_binary64_18220.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{-1 + \color{blue}{\log \left(e^{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3}}\right)}}{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{2} + \left(e^{x} + 1\right)}}{x}\]

    8. Applied add-log-exp_binary64_18220.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{\log \left(e^{-1}\right)} + \log \left(e^{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3}}\right)}{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{2} + \left(e^{x} + 1\right)}}{x}\]

    9. Applied sum-log_binary64_18740.0

      \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{\log \left(e^{-1} \cdot e^{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3}}\right)}}{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{2} + \left(e^{x} + 1\right)}}{x}\]

    if -0.0013560797573243535 < x

    1. Initial program 59.9

      \[\frac{e^{x} - 1}{x}\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{0.5 \cdot x + \left(0.16666666666666666 \cdot {x}^{2} + \left(0.041666666666666664 \cdot {x}^{3} + 1\right)\right)}\]

    3. Simplified0.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{1 + x \cdot \left(0.5 + x \cdot \left(0.16666666666666666 + x \cdot 0.041666666666666664\right)\right)}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \leq -0.0013560797573243535:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{\log \left(e^{-1} \cdot e^{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{3}}\right)}{{\left(e^{x}\right)}^{2} + \left(e^{x} + 1\right)}}{x}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;1 + x \cdot \left(0.5 + x \cdot \left(0.16666666666666666 + x \cdot 0.041666666666666664\right)\right)\\ \end{array}\]
