Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.2

    \[\left|\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}} \cdot \left(\left(\left(2 \cdot \left|x\right| + \frac{2}{3} \cdot \left(\left(\left|x\right| \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right)\right) + \frac{1}{5} \cdot \left(\left(\left(\left(\left|x\right| \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right)\right) + \frac{1}{21} \cdot \left(\left(\left(\left(\left(\left(\left|x\right| \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right) \cdot \left|x\right|\right)\right)\right| \]

  2. Simplified0.6

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left|\frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(0.047619047619047616, {x}^{7}, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.2, {x}^{5}, \mathsf{fma}\left(2, x, 0.6666666666666666 \cdot {x}^{3}\right)\right)\right)}{\sqrt{\pi}}\right|} \]

  3. Applied div-inv_binary640.2

    \[\leadsto \left|\color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(0.047619047619047616, {x}^{7}, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.2, {x}^{5}, \mathsf{fma}\left(2, x, 0.6666666666666666 \cdot {x}^{3}\right)\right)\right) \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}}}\right| \]

  4. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \left|\mathsf{fma}\left(0.047619047619047616, {x}^{7}, \mathsf{fma}\left(0.2, {x}^{5}, \mathsf{fma}\left(2, x, 0.6666666666666666 \cdot {x}^{3}\right)\right)\right) \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}}\right| \]
