\[\mathsf{fma}\left(1 + t \cdot 2 \cdot 10^{-16}, 1 + t \cdot 2 \cdot 10^{-16}, -1 - 2 \cdot \left(t \cdot 2 \cdot 10^{-16}\right)\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 61.8

    \[\left(1 + t \cdot 2 \cdot 10^{-16}\right) \cdot \left(1 + t \cdot 2 \cdot 10^{-16}\right) + \left(-1 - 2 \cdot \left(t \cdot 2 \cdot 10^{-16}\right)\right)\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.3

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{3.9999999999999997 \cdot 10^{-32} \cdot {t}^{2}}\]

  3. Final simplification0.3

    \[\leadsto 3.9999999999999997 \cdot 10^{-32} \cdot {t}^{2}\]
