Herbie	5.1

\[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;0.5 < \left|\frac{x}{y}\right| \land \left|\frac{x}{y}\right| < 2:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;1 - \frac{2}{1 + \frac{x}{y} \cdot \frac{x}{y}}\\ \end{array} \]

Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if (/.f64 (*.f64 (-.f64 x y) (+.f64 x y)) (+.f64 (*.f64 x x) (*.f64 y y))) < 2

   1. Initial program 0.0

      \[\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y} \]

   if 2 < (/.f64 (*.f64 (-.f64 x y) (+.f64 x y)) (+.f64 (*.f64 x x) (*.f64 y y)))

   1. Initial program 64.0

      \[\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y} \]

   2. Taylor expanded in x around 0 16.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-1} \]
3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
