Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes
  2. if c < -1.30426463031640256e29

    1. Initial program 34.8

      \[\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt34.8

      \[\leadsto \frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\color{blue}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d} \cdot \sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}\]
    4. Applied *-un-lft-identity34.8

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{1 \cdot \left(b \cdot c - a \cdot d\right)}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d} \cdot \sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}\]
    5. Applied times-frac34.8

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}} \cdot \frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}\]
    6. Taylor expanded around -inf 36.6

      \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}} \cdot \color{blue}{\left(-1 \cdot b\right)}\]
    7. Simplified36.6

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

    if -1.30426463031640256e29 < c

    1. Initial program 23.9

      \[\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}\]
    2. Using strategy rm
    3. Applied clear-num24.1

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}}}\]
  3. Recombined 2 regimes into one program.
  4. Final simplification27.1

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;c \le -1.30426463031640256 \cdot 10^{29}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}} \cdot \left(-b\right)\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{\frac{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}}\\ \end{array}\]
