Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.6

    \[\frac{1}{x \cdot x}\]
  2. Using strategy rm

  3. Applied pow2_binary640.6

    \[\leadsto \frac{1}{\color{blue}{{x}^{2}}}\]

  4. Applied pow-flip_binary640

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{{x}^{\left(-2\right)}}\]

  5. Simplified0

    \[\leadsto {x}^{\color{blue}{-2}}\]

  6. Final simplification0

    \[\leadsto {x}^{-2}\]
