Error

The X axis uses an exponential scale — Bits error versus `a`

Target

Original	25.4
Target	0.5
Herbie	25.3

\[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\left|d\right| \lt \left|c\right|:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{b - a \cdot \frac{d}{c}}{c + d \cdot \frac{d}{c}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-a\right) + b \cdot \frac{c}{d}}{d + c \cdot \frac{c}{d}}\\ \end{array}\]

Derivation

Initial program 25.4
\[\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}\]
Using strategy rm
Applied add-sqr-sqrt25.4
\[\leadsto \frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d} \cdot \sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}\]
Applied associate-/r*25.3
\[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}\]
Final simplification25.3
\[\leadsto \frac{\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}\]
