Derivation

  1. Initial program 14.8

    \[x \cdot \log \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) - z\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied add-cube-cbrt14.8

    \[\leadsto x \cdot \log \left(\frac{x}{\color{blue}{\left(\sqrt[3]{y} \cdot \sqrt[3]{y}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{y}}}\right) - z\]

  4. Applied add-cube-cbrt14.8

    \[\leadsto x \cdot \log \left(\frac{\color{blue}{\left(\sqrt[3]{x} \cdot \sqrt[3]{x}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{x}}}{\left(\sqrt[3]{y} \cdot \sqrt[3]{y}\right) \cdot \sqrt[3]{y}}\right) - z\]

  5. Applied times-frac14.8

    \[\leadsto x \cdot \log \color{blue}{\left(\frac{\sqrt[3]{x} \cdot \sqrt[3]{x}}{\sqrt[3]{y} \cdot \sqrt[3]{y}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt[3]{x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\right)} - z\]

  6. Applied log-prod3.4

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

  7. Simplified0.2

    \[\leadsto x \cdot \left(\color{blue}{2 \cdot \log \left(\frac{\sqrt[3]{x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\right)} + \log \left(\frac{\sqrt[3]{x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\right)\right) - z\]

  8. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto x \cdot \left(2 \cdot \log \left(\frac{\sqrt[3]{x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\right) + \log \left(\frac{\sqrt[3]{x}}{\sqrt[3]{y}}\right)\right) - z\]
