Derivation

  1. Initial program 31.8

    \[\frac{\tan^{-1}_* \frac{im}{re} \cdot \log base - \log \left(\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im}\right) \cdot 0.0}{\log base \cdot \log base + 0.0 \cdot 0.0}\]

  2. Taylor expanded around inf 0.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-1 \cdot \frac{\tan^{-1}_* \frac{im}{re}}{\log \left(\frac{1}{base}\right)}}\]

  3. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto -1 \cdot \frac{\tan^{-1}_* \frac{im}{re}}{\log \left(\frac{1}{base}\right)}\]
