Derivation

  1. Initial program 6.9

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

  3. Applied difference-of-squares6.9

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

  4. Applied associate-*l*0.2

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

  6. Applied fma-def0.2

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

  7. Final simplification0.2

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