Derivation

  1. Initial program 28.8

    \[\frac{\left(x \cdot x + y \cdot y\right) - z \cdot z}{y \cdot 2} \]

  2. Simplified12.8

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-0.5 \cdot \left(\frac{z \cdot z - x \cdot x}{y} - y\right)} \]

  3. Applied difference-of-squares_binary6412.8

    \[\leadsto -0.5 \cdot \left(\frac{\color{blue}{\left(z + x\right) \cdot \left(z - x\right)}}{y} - y\right) \]

  4. Applied associate-/l*_binary640.2

    \[\leadsto -0.5 \cdot \left(\color{blue}{\frac{z + x}{\frac{y}{z - x}}} - y\right) \]

  5. Applied associate-/r/_binary640.2

    \[\leadsto -0.5 \cdot \left(\color{blue}{\frac{z + x}{y} \cdot \left(z - x\right)} - y\right) \]

  6. Applied fma-neg_binary640.2

    \[\leadsto -0.5 \cdot \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{z + x}{y}, z - x, -y\right)} \]

  7. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto -0.5 \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(\frac{z + x}{y}, z - x, -y\right) \]
