Derivation

  1. Split input into 2 regimes

  2. if (/.f64 (-.f64 (*.f64 b c) (*.f64 a d)) (+.f64 (*.f64 c c) (*.f64 d d))) < 1.04267425586955658e279

    1. Initial program 14.2

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

    3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt_binary6414.2

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

    4. Applied associate-/r*_binary6414.1

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

    if 1.04267425586955658e279 < (/.f64 (-.f64 (*.f64 b c) (*.f64 a d)) (+.f64 (*.f64 c c) (*.f64 d d)))

    1. Initial program 62.2

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

    3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt_binary6462.2

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

    4. Applied associate-/r*_binary6462.2

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

    5. Taylor expanded around -inf 60.0

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

    6. Simplified60.0

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

  4. Final simplification25.3

    \[\leadsto \begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{c \cdot c + d \cdot d} \leq 1.0426742558695566 \cdot 10^{+279}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{\frac{b \cdot c - a \cdot d}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{-b}{\sqrt{c \cdot c + d \cdot d}}\\ \end{array}\]
