Implement the "Wolontis" Function

While looking at old ALGOL documentation with someone else on Discord, this "famous" function popped up:

An image claiming to show "the famous Wolontis Function"

Although it’s mentioned in other language manuals of the era, such as Runcible and FORTRAN, we haven't managed to find any references to this function online — so let's change that.

The expression in the image is \$\frac{\sin x}{\sqrt{1-e^{-x^3}}}\$. Your task is to implement this function for positive inputs, as its value is undefined at \$x=0\$ and imaginary for negative \$x\$. Floating-point inaccuracies are permitted.

Sandbox questions

  • How accurate/precise should answers be required to be?
  • What other tags should I add?
  • Any other information I should include? e.g. would a graph be helpful?
