Derivation

1. Split input into 3 regimes

2. if x < -4.9999999999999999e155

   1. Initial program 64.0

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

   2. Taylor expanded in x around -inf 0.0

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

   3. Simplified 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-x} \]
      Proof

   if -4.9999999999999999e155 < x < 4.60000000000000002e76

   1. Initial program 0.2

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

   if 4.60000000000000002e76 < x

   1. Initial program 43.0

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

   2. Taylor expanded in x around inf 1.3

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