Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.1

    \[x + \frac{x - y}{2.0}\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{1.5 \cdot x - 0.5 \cdot y}\]
  3. Using strategy rm

  4. Applied fma-neg0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(1.5, x, -0.5 \cdot y\right)}\]

  5. Final simplification0

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(1.5, x, -0.5 \cdot y\right)\]
