Derivation

1. Split input into 2 regimes

2. if x < -4.9999999999999999e23 or 1.5e8 < x

   1. Initial program 30.6

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

   2. Taylor expanded in x around inf 0.0

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

   if -4.9999999999999999e23 < x < 1.5e8

   1. Initial program 0.0

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

   2. Applied egg-rr 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{x \cdot x + 1} \cdot x} \]
3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

4. Final simplification 0.0

   \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \leq -5 \cdot 10^{+23}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{x}\\ \mathbf{elif}\;x \leq 150000000:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{x \cdot x + 1} \cdot x\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{x}\\ \end{array} \]
