Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if x < -2.370483120465764e-293

   1. Initial program 30.0

      \[\sqrt{2 \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right)} \]

   2. Taylor expanded in x around -inf 0.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-1 \cdot \left(\sqrt{2} \cdot x\right)} \]

   3. Simplified 0.4

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x \cdot \left(-\sqrt{2}\right)} \]

   if -2.370483120465764e-293 < x

   1. Initial program 30.3

      \[\sqrt{2 \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right)} \]

   2. Applied egg-rr 1.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\sqrt{2 \cdot x} \cdot \sqrt{x}} \]
3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 1.1

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \leq -2.370483120465764 \cdot 10^{-293}:\\ \;\;\;\;\sqrt{2} \cdot \left(-x\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\sqrt{2 \cdot x} \cdot \sqrt{x}\\ \end{array} \]
