Derivation

  1. Initial program 19.9

    \[\frac{\left(x - y\right) \cdot \left(x + y\right)}{x \cdot x + y \cdot y}\]

  2. Simplified20.1

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

  4. Applied *-un-lft-identity20.1

    \[\leadsto \frac{x - y}{\frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, x, y \cdot y\right)}{\color{blue}{1 \cdot \left(x + y\right)}}}\]
