Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.2

    \[\left|\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}} \cdot \left(\left(\left(2 \cdot \left|x\right| + \frac{2}{3} \cdot \left(\left(\left|x\right| \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right)\right) + \frac{1}{5} \cdot \left(\left(\left(\left(\left|x\right| \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right)\right) + \frac{1}{21} \cdot \left(\left(\left(\left(\left(\left(\left|x\right| \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right)\right)\right| \]

  2. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.2

    \[\leadsto \left|\color{blue}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{\pi}} \cdot \left(0.047619047619047616 \cdot {\left(\left|x\right|\right)}^{7} + \left(2 \cdot \left|x\right| + \left(0.6666666666666666 \cdot {\left(\left|x\right|\right)}^{3} + 0.2 \cdot {\left(\left|x\right|\right)}^{5}\right)\right)\right)}\right| \]

  3. Simplified0.1

    \[\leadsto \left|\color{blue}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{\pi}} \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(0.047619047619047616, {\left(\left|x\right|\right)}^{7}, \mathsf{fma}\left(\left|x\right|, 2, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.6666666666666666, {\left(\left|x\right|\right)}^{3}, 0.2 \cdot {\left(\left|x\right|\right)}^{5}\right)\right)\right)}\right| \]

  4. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \left|\sqrt{\frac{1}{\pi}} \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(0.047619047619047616, {\left(\left|x\right|\right)}^{7}, \mathsf{fma}\left(\left|x\right|, 2, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.6666666666666666, {\left(\left|x\right|\right)}^{3}, 0.2 \cdot {\left(\left|x\right|\right)}^{5}\right)\right)\right)\right| \]
