Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.2

    \[\left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \left(3 - x \cdot 2\right) \]
  2. Simplified0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(x, -2, 3\right)} \]
  3. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{3 \cdot {x}^{2} - 2 \cdot {x}^{3}} \]
  4. Applied fma-neg_binary640.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(3, {x}^{2}, -2 \cdot {x}^{3}\right)} \]
  5. Simplified0.1

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(3, {x}^{2}, \color{blue}{-2 \cdot {x}^{3}}\right) \]
  6. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(3, {x}^{2}, -2 \cdot {x}^{3}\right) \]
