Derivation

  1. Initial program 64.0

    \[1.6999999999999999 \cdot 10^{308} \cdot t - 1.6999999999999999 \cdot 10^{308}\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied fma-neg0

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(1.6999999999999999 \cdot 10^{308}, t, -1.6999999999999999 \cdot 10^{308}\right)}\]

  4. Final simplification0

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(1.6999999999999999 \cdot 10^{308}, t, -1.6999999999999999 \cdot 10^{308}\right)\]
