Derivation

  1. Initial program 10.2

    \[\frac{x}{y \cdot y}\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied *-un-lft-identity10.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{1 \cdot x}}{y \cdot y}\]

  4. Applied times-frac0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{x}{y}}\]

  5. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{x}{y}\]
