Derivation

1. Initial program 0.51

   \[1 + v \cdot \log \left(u + \left(1 - u\right) \cdot e^{\frac{-2}{v}}\right) \]

2. Simplified 0.49

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(v, \log \left(\mathsf{fma}\left(1 - u, e^{\frac{-2}{v}}, u\right)\right), 1\right)} \]
   Proof

   [Start] 0.51	\[ 1 + v \cdot \log \left(u + \left(1 - u\right) \cdot e^{\frac{-2}{v}}\right) \]
   +-commutative [=>] 0.51	\[ \color{blue}{v \cdot \log \left(u + \left(1 - u\right) \cdot e^{\frac{-2}{v}}\right) + 1} \]
   fma-def [=>] 0.48	\[ \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(v, \log \left(u + \left(1 - u\right) \cdot e^{\frac{-2}{v}}\right), 1\right)} \]
   +-commutative [=>] 0.48	\[ \mathsf{fma}\left(v, \log \color{blue}{\left(\left(1 - u\right) \cdot e^{\frac{-2}{v}} + u\right)}, 1\right) \]
   fma-def [=>] 0.49	\[ \mathsf{fma}\left(v, \log \color{blue}{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(1 - u, e^{\frac{-2}{v}}, u\right)\right)}, 1\right) \]

3. Taylor expanded in v around 0 0.48

   \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(v, \color{blue}{\log \left(\left(1 - u\right) \cdot e^{\frac{-2}{v}} + u\right)}, 1\right) \]

4. Final simplification 0.48

   \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(v, \log \left(u + \left(1 - u\right) \cdot e^{\frac{-2}{v}}\right), 1\right) \]
