Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if x < -1.3299041834197318

    1. Initial program 63.0

      \[\log \left(x + \sqrt{x \cdot x + 1}\right)\]

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 0.5

      \[\leadsto \log \color{blue}{\left(\frac{-0.5}{x}\right)}\]

    if -1.3299041834197318 < x < 1.0253859810357775

    1. Initial program 58.5

      \[\log \left(x + \sqrt{x \cdot x + 1}\right)\]

    2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.2

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(x + 0.075 \cdot {x}^{5}\right) - 0.16666666666666666 \cdot {x}^{3}}\]

    if 1.0253859810357775 < x

    1. Initial program 31.2

      \[\log \left(x + \sqrt{x \cdot x + 1}\right)\]

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.4

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

    3. Simplified0.4

      \[\leadsto \log \left(x + \color{blue}{\left(x + \frac{0.5}{x}\right)}\right)\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \leq -1.3299041834197318:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(\frac{-0.5}{x}\right)\\ \mathbf{elif}\;x \leq 1.0253859810357775:\\ \;\;\;\;\left(x + 0.075 \cdot {x}^{5}\right) - 0.16666666666666666 \cdot {x}^{3}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(x + \left(x + \frac{0.5}{x}\right)\right)\\ \end{array}\]
