Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.1

    \[0.70711 \cdot \left(\frac{2.30753 + x \cdot 0.27061}{1 + x \cdot \left(0.99229 + x \cdot 0.04481\right)} - x\right) \]

  2. Simplified0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, -0.70711, \frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, 0.1913510371, 1.6316775383\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, \mathsf{fma}\left(x, 0.04481, 0.99229\right), 1\right)}\right)} \]

  3. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(x, -0.70711, \frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, 0.1913510371, 1.6316775383\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, \mathsf{fma}\left(x, 0.04481, 0.99229\right), 1\right)}\right) \]
