Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.1

    \[\left(a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{9 \cdot \left(a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}\right)}} \cdot rand\right)\]

  2. Simplified0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{rand \cdot \frac{a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}}{\sqrt{9 \cdot \left(a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}\right)}} + \left(a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}\right)}\]
  3. Using strategy rm

  4. Applied sqrt-prod0.1

    \[\leadsto rand \cdot \frac{a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}}}} + \left(a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}\right)\]

  5. Simplified0.1

    \[\leadsto rand \cdot \frac{a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}}{\color{blue}{3} \cdot \sqrt{a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}}} + \left(a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}\right)\]
  6. Using strategy rm

  7. Applied associate-/r*0.1

    \[\leadsto rand \cdot \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}}{3}}{\sqrt{a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}}}} + \left(a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}\right)\]

  8. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}}{3}}{\sqrt{a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}}} \cdot rand + \left(a - \frac{1.0}{3.0}\right)\]
