Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.1

    \[\left(a - \frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{9 \cdot \left(a - \frac{1}{3}\right)}} \cdot rand\right)\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied sqrt-prod0.2

    \[\leadsto \left(a - \frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{1}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{a - \frac{1}{3}}}} \cdot rand\right)\]

  4. Applied associate-/r*0.2

    \[\leadsto \left(a - \frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{9}}}{\sqrt{a - \frac{1}{3}}}} \cdot rand\right)\]

  5. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \left(a - \frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{9}}}{\sqrt{a - \frac{1}{3}}} \cdot rand\right)\]
