Derivation

1. Initial program 0.2

   \[\left(a - \left(\frac{\left(1.0\right)}{\left(3.0\right)}\right)\right) \cdot \left(\frac{\left(1\right)}{\left(\left(\frac{\left(1\right)}{\left(\sqrt{\left(\left(9\right) \cdot \left(a - \left(\frac{\left(1.0\right)}{\left(3.0\right)}\right)\right)\right)}\right)}\right) \cdot rand\right)}\right)\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied sub-neg0.2

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

4. Applied distribute-lft-in0.2

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

5. Final simplification0.2

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