Complex division, imag part

Average Error: 26.2 → 26.2

Time: 3.6s

Precision: 64

Math

\[\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}\]

↓

\[\frac{\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}\]

C

double code(double a, double b, double c, double d) {
	return (((b * c) - (a * d)) / ((c * c) + (d * d)));
}

↓

double code(double a, double b, double c, double d) {
	return ((((b * c) - (a * d)) / sqrt(((c * c) + (d * d)))) / sqrt(((c * c) + (d * d))));
}

\[\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\left|d\right| \lt \left|c\right|:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{b - a \cdot \frac{d}{c}}{c + d \cdot \frac{d}{c}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\left(-a\right) + b \cdot \frac{c}{d}}{d + c \cdot \frac{c}{d}}\\ \end{array}\]

Derivation

1. Initial program 26.2

   \[\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}\]
2. Using strategy rm

3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt 26.2

   \[\leadsto \frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d} \cdot \sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}\]

4. Applied associate-/r* 26.2

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}\]

5. Final simplification 26.2

   \[\leadsto \frac{\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}\]
