Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if x < -1.2967399640943471

    1. Initial program 62.8

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

    2. Simplified62.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(x + \mathsf{hypot}\left(1, x\right)\right)} \]

    3. Taylor expanded in x around -inf 0.6

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

    if -1.2967399640943471 < x < 0.00744993784752718321

    1. Initial program 58.9

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

    2. Simplified58.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(x + \mathsf{hypot}\left(1, x\right)\right)} \]

    3. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.1

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

    4. Simplified0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left({x}^{3}, -0.16666666666666666, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.075, {x}^{5}, x\right)\right)} \]

    if 0.00744993784752718321 < x

    1. Initial program 32.6

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

    2. Simplified0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(x + \mathsf{hypot}\left(1, x\right)\right)} \]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \leq -1.296739964094347:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(\frac{-0.5}{x}\right)\\ \mathbf{elif}\;x \leq 0.007449937847527183:\\ \;\;\;\;\mathsf{fma}\left({x}^{3}, -0.16666666666666666, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.075, {x}^{5}, x\right)\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\log \left(x + \mathsf{hypot}\left(1, x\right)\right)\\ \end{array} \]
