\[6 \cdot x - 9 \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.3

    \[\left(3 \cdot \left(2 - x \cdot 3\right)\right) \cdot x\]
  2. Using strategy rm
  3. Applied flip--0.3

    \[\leadsto \left(3 \cdot \color{blue}{\frac{2 \cdot 2 - \left(x \cdot 3\right) \cdot \left(x \cdot 3\right)}{2 + x \cdot 3}}\right) \cdot x\]
  4. Simplified0.3

    \[\leadsto \left(3 \cdot \frac{\color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(3, x, 2\right) \cdot \left(2 - 3 \cdot x\right)}}{2 + x \cdot 3}\right) \cdot x\]
  5. Simplified0.3

    \[\leadsto \left(3 \cdot \frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(3, x, 2\right) \cdot \left(2 - 3 \cdot x\right)}{\color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(3, x, 2\right)}}\right) \cdot x\]
  6. Taylor expanded around 0 0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{6 \cdot x - 9 \cdot {x}^{2}}\]
  7. Using strategy rm
  8. Applied fma-neg0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(6, x, -9 \cdot {x}^{2}\right)}\]
  9. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(6, x, -9 \cdot {x}^{2}\right)\]
