Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (/ (- (* b c) (* a d)) (+ (* c c) (* d d))) < 4.398434611309926e244

    1. Initial program 14.7

      \[\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}\]

    if 4.398434611309926e244 < (/ (- (* b c) (* a d)) (+ (* c c) (* d d)))

    1. Initial program 60.9

      \[\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt60.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d} \cdot \sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}\]

    4. Applied *-un-lft-identity60.9

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{1 \cdot \left(b \cdot c - a \cdot d\right)}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d} \cdot \sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}\]

    5. Applied times-frac60.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}} \cdot \frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}\]

    6. Taylor expanded around inf 60.1

      \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}} \cdot \color{blue}{b}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.

  4. Final simplification26.5

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d} \le 4.398434611309926 \cdot 10^{244}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}} \cdot b\\ \end{array}\]
