Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if x < -1.2122631934113798e154

    1. Initial program 59.5

      \[\sqrt{x \cdot x + y} \]

    2. Simplified59.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\sqrt{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, x, y\right)}} \]

    3. Taylor expanded in x around -inf 0.0

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

    if -1.2122631934113798e154 < x < 6.5138229433424211e142
