Derivation

  1. Initial program 0

    \[\lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\cos \phi_2 \cdot \sin \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}{\cos \phi_1 + \cos \phi_2 \cdot \cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}\]

  2. Simplified0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\tan^{-1}_* \frac{\cos \phi_2 \cdot \sin \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}{(\left(\cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \left(\cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)\right) + \left(\cos \phi_1\right))_*} + \lambda_1}\]

  3. Final simplification0

    \[\leadsto \lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\sin \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \phi_2}{(\left(\cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \left(\cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)\right) + \left(\cos \phi_1\right))_*}\]
