Average Error: 32.3 → 0.1

Time: 4.9s

Precision: 64

Math

\[\log \left(x + \sqrt{x \cdot x - 1}\right)\]

↓

\[\log \left(x + \left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}} \cdot \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}}\right) \cdot \left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}} \cdot \sqrt{x - \sqrt{1}}\right)\right)\]

C

double code(double x) {
	return log((x + sqrt(((x * x) - 1.0))));
}

↓

double code(double x) {
	return log((x + ((cbrt(sqrt((x + sqrt(1.0)))) * cbrt(sqrt((x + sqrt(1.0))))) * (cbrt(sqrt((x + sqrt(1.0)))) * sqrt((x - sqrt(1.0)))))));
}

Derivation

1. Initial program 32.3

   \[\log \left(x + \sqrt{x \cdot x - 1}\right)\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt 32.3

   \[\leadsto \log \left(x + \sqrt{x \cdot x - \color{blue}{\sqrt{1} \cdot \sqrt{1}}}\right)\]

4. Applied difference-of-squares 32.3

   \[\leadsto \log \left(x + \sqrt{\color{blue}{\left(x + \sqrt{1}\right) \cdot \left(x - \sqrt{1}\right)}}\right)\]

5. Applied sqrt-prod 0.1

   \[\leadsto \log \left(x + \color{blue}{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}} \cdot \sqrt{x - \sqrt{1}}}\right)\]
6. Using strategy rm

7. Applied add-cube-cbrt 0.1

   \[\leadsto \log \left(x + \color{blue}{\left(\left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}} \cdot \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}}\right)} \cdot \sqrt{x - \sqrt{1}}\right)\]

8. Applied associate-*l* 0.1

   \[\leadsto \log \left(x + \color{blue}{\left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}} \cdot \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}}\right) \cdot \left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}} \cdot \sqrt{x - \sqrt{1}}\right)}\right)\]

9. Final simplification 0.1

   \[\leadsto \log \left(x + \left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}} \cdot \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}}\right) \cdot \left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x + \sqrt{1}}} \cdot \sqrt{x - \sqrt{1}}\right)\right)\]
