Derivation

  1. Initial program Error: 26.6 bits

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

  3. Applied add-sqr-sqrtError: 26.6 bits

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

  4. Applied associate-/r*Error: 26.6 bits

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

  5. Final simplificationError: 26.6 bits

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