Time: 4.7s

Precision: 64

Math

\[x + \frac{\left(y - x\right) \cdot z}{t}\]

↓

	return (x + (((y - x) * z) / t));
}

↓

double code(double x, double y, double z, double t) {
	return (((z / t) / (1.0 / (y - x))) + x);
}

\[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;x \lt -9.0255111955330046 \cdot 10^{-135}:\\ \;\;\;\;x - \frac{z}{t} \cdot \left(x - y\right)\\ \mathbf{elif}\;x \lt 4.2750321637007147 \cdot 10^{-250}:\\ \;\;\;\;x + \frac{y - x}{t} \cdot z\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;x + \frac{y - x}{\frac{t}{z}}\\ \end{array}\]

Derivation

1. Initial program 6.5

   \[x + \frac{\left(y - x\right) \cdot z}{t}\]

2. Simplified 6.3

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{y - x}{t}, z, x\right)}\]
3. Using strategy rm

4. Applied clear-num 6.4

   \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(\color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{t}{y - x}}}, z, x\right)\]
5. Using strategy rm

6. Applied fma-udef 6.4

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{t}{y - x}} \cdot z + x}\]

7. Simplified 5.8

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{z}{\frac{t}{y - x}}} + x\]
8. Using strategy rm

9. Applied div-inv 5.8

   \[\leadsto \frac{z}{\color{blue}{t \cdot \frac{1}{y - x}}} + x\]

10. Applied associate-/r* 2.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{z}{t}}{\frac{1}{y - x}}} + x\]

11. Final simplification 2.1

    \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{z}{t}}{\frac{1}{y - x}} + x\]
