Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.6

    \[\cos^{-1} \left(\frac{1 - 5 \cdot \left(v \cdot v\right)}{v \cdot v - 1}\right) \]

  2. Simplified0.6

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\cos^{-1} \left(\frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(v, v \cdot -5, 1\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(v, v, -1\right)}\right)} \]

  3. Applied acos-asin_binary640.6

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(v, v \cdot -5, 1\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(v, v, -1\right)}\right)} \]

  4. Final simplification0.6

    \[\leadsto \frac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{\mathsf{fma}\left(v, v \cdot -5, 1\right)}{\mathsf{fma}\left(v, v, -1\right)}\right) \]
