Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.2

    \[\left(a - \frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{9 \cdot \left(a - \frac{1}{3}\right)}} \cdot rand\right) \]

  2. Simplified0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(a - \frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{rand}{\sqrt{\left(a - \frac{1}{3}\right) \cdot 9}}\right)} \]

  3. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \left(a + \frac{-1}{3}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{rand}{\sqrt{\left(a + \frac{-1}{3}\right) \cdot 9}}\right) \]
