Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -0.00128779396947464419

    1. Initial program 0.0

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

    3. Applied add-cube-cbrt_binary64_34360.0

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

    4. Simplified0.0

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

    if -0.00128779396947464419 < x

    1. Initial program 60.1

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

    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

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

    4. 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

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \leq -0.0012877939694746442:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\sqrt[3]{e^{x} + -1} \cdot \left(\sqrt[3]{e^{x} + -1} \cdot \sqrt[3]{e^{x} + -1}\right)}{x}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;1 + x \cdot \left(0.5 + x \cdot \left(0.16666666666666666 + x \cdot 0.041666666666666664\right)\right)\\ \end{array}\]
