VandenBroeck and Keller, Equation (24)

Average Error: 0.2 → 0.2

Time: 4.6s

Precision: binary64

Math

\[\left(-x \cdot \frac{1}{\tan B}\right) + \frac{1}{\sin B}\]

↓

\[\frac{1}{\sin B} - \frac{x \cdot 1}{\tan B}\]

Error

Bits error versus B

Bits error versus x

Derivation

1. Initial program 0.2

   \[\left(-x \cdot \frac{1}{\tan B}\right) + \frac{1}{\sin B}\]

2. Simplified 0.2

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\sin B} - x \cdot \frac{1}{\tan B}}\]
3. Using strategy rm

4. Applied associate-*r/ 0.2

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\sin B} - \color{blue}{\frac{x \cdot 1}{\tan B}}\]

5. Final simplification 0.2

   \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\sin B} - \frac{x \cdot 1}{\tan B}\]
