Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.8

    \[\lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\cos \phi_2 \cdot \sin \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}{\cos \phi_1 + \cos \phi_2 \cdot \cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied add-cbrt-cube0.8

    \[\leadsto \lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\cos \phi_2 \cdot \sin \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}{\cos \phi_1 + \cos \phi_2 \cdot \color{blue}{\sqrt[3]{\left(\cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)\right) \cdot \cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}}}\]

  4. Simplified0.8

    \[\leadsto \lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\cos \phi_2 \cdot \sin \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}{\cos \phi_1 + \cos \phi_2 \cdot \sqrt[3]{\color{blue}{{\left(\cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)\right)}^{3}}}}\]

  5. Final simplification0.8

    \[\leadsto \lambda_1 + \tan^{-1}_* \frac{\cos \phi_2 \cdot \sin \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)}{\cos \phi_1 + \cos \phi_2 \cdot \sqrt[3]{{\left(\cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)\right)}^{3}}}\]
