Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if k < 1.0742694774859784e149

   1. Initial program 0.1

      \[\frac{a \cdot {k}^{m}}{\left(1 + 10 \cdot k\right) + k \cdot k} \]

   2. Simplified 0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{a \cdot {k}^{m}}{\mathsf{fma}\left(k, k + 10, 1\right)}} \]

   if 1.0742694774859784e149 < k

   1. Initial program 10.5

      \[\frac{a \cdot {k}^{m}}{\left(1 + 10 \cdot k\right) + k \cdot k} \]

   2. Simplified 10.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{a \cdot {k}^{m}}{\mathsf{fma}\left(k, k + 10, 1\right)}} \]

   3. Taylor expanded in k around inf 10.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{a \cdot e^{-1 \cdot \left(\log \left(\frac{1}{k}\right) \cdot m\right)}}{{k}^{2}}} \]

   4. Simplified 0.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{a}{k} \cdot \frac{{k}^{m}}{k}} \]
3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 0.1

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;k \leq 1.0742694774859784 \cdot 10^{+149}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{a \cdot {k}^{m}}{\mathsf{fma}\left(k, k + 10, 1\right)}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{a}{k} \cdot \frac{{k}^{m}}{k}\\ \end{array} \]
