Photoshop Lightness Regulation Formula

$$\begin{array}{l} \text{$l$ is the current lightness.}\\ \text{$x$ is the offset that will be regulated.}\\ \text {$L$ is the new lightness after regulation.}\\ \\ \text {Two formulas are equal to each other.}\\ \end{array}$$
$$L(l,x)= \begin{cases} l+(1-l)x, & x\ge0 \\[2ex] l+lx, & x\lt0 \\[2ex] \end{cases} \;\{ -1 \le x \le 1 \}$$

$$L(l,x)=\frac{x+|x|}{2}+l(1-|x|)\;\;\;\{ -1 \le x \le1 \}$$
