Derivation

1. Initial program 6.9

   \[\left(x.re \cdot x.re - x.im \cdot x.im\right) \cdot x.re - \left(x.re \cdot x.im + x.im \cdot x.re\right) \cdot x.im\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied difference-of-squares6.9

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\left(x.re + x.im\right) \cdot \left(x.re - x.im\right)\right)} \cdot x.re - \left(x.re \cdot x.im + x.im \cdot x.re\right) \cdot x.im\]

4. Applied associate-*l*0.2

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(x.re + x.im\right) \cdot \left(\left(x.re - x.im\right) \cdot x.re\right)} - \left(x.re \cdot x.im + x.im \cdot x.re\right) \cdot x.im\]

5. Final simplification0.2

   \[\leadsto \left(\left(x.re - x.im\right) \cdot x.re\right) \cdot \left(x.im + x.re\right) - \left(x.re \cdot x.im + x.re \cdot x.im\right) \cdot x.im\]
