Derivation

1. Initial program 2.0

   \[\left(real->posit(0.5)\right) \cdot \left(\sqrt{\left(\left(real->posit(2.0)\right) \cdot \left(\left(\sqrt{\left(\frac{\left(re \cdot re\right)}{\left(im \cdot im\right)}\right)}\right) - re\right)\right)}\right)\]

2. Final simplification2.0

   \[\leadsto 0.5 \cdot \sqrt{2.0 \cdot \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} - re\right)}\]
