Derivation

  1. Initial program 19.5

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

  3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt19.5

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

  4. Applied times-frac19.6

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{x - y}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}} \cdot \frac{x + y}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}}}\]

  5. Simplified19.5

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{x - y}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(x, y\right)}} \cdot \frac{x + y}{\sqrt{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}}\]
  6. Using strategy rm

  7. Applied hypot-def0.0

    \[\leadsto \frac{x - y}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(x, y\right)} \cdot \frac{x + y}{\color{blue}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(x, y\right)}}\]

  8. Final simplification0.0

    \[\leadsto \frac{x - y}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(x, y\right)} \cdot \frac{x + y}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(x, y\right)}\]
