Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.5

    \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{k}} \cdot {\left(\left(2 \cdot \pi\right) \cdot n\right)}^{\left(\frac{1 - k}{2}\right)} \]

  2. Simplified0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{{\left(\left(2 \cdot \pi\right) \cdot n\right)}^{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(k, -0.5, 0.5\right)\right)}}{\sqrt{k}}} \]

  3. Taylor expanded in n around 0 3.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{k}} \cdot e^{\left(\log n + \log \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right) \cdot \left(0.5 - 0.5 \cdot k\right)}} \]

  4. Simplified0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{{\left(n \cdot \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right)}^{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(k, -0.5, 0.5\right)\right)} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{k}}} \]

  5. Applied pow1_binary640.4

    \[\leadsto {\left(n \cdot \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right)}^{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(k, -0.5, 0.5\right)\right)} \cdot \color{blue}{{\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{k}}\right)}^{1}} \]

  6. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto {\left(n \cdot \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right)}^{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(k, -0.5, 0.5\right)\right)} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{k}} \]
