Error

Bits error versus alpha

Bits error versus beta

Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.7

    \[\frac{\left(\frac{\left(\frac{\left(\beta - \alpha\right)}{\left(\frac{\left(\frac{\alpha}{\beta}\right)}{\left(2.0\right)}\right)}\right)}{\left(1.0\right)}\right)}{\left(2.0\right)}\]

  2. Final simplification0.7

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{\beta - \alpha}{\left(\alpha + \beta\right) + 2.0} + 1.0}{2.0}\]
