Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if x < -1.40231511277756734e29 or 1047313193.71178019 < x

    1. Initial program 31.1

      \[\frac{x}{x \cdot x + 1} \]

    2. Simplified31.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{x}{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, x, 1\right)}} \]

    3. Taylor expanded in x around inf 0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{x}} \]

    if -1.40231511277756734e29 < x < 1047313193.71178019
