Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.5

    \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{k}} \cdot {\left(\left(2 \cdot \pi\right) \cdot n\right)}^{\left(\frac{1 - k}{2}\right)} \]

  2. Simplified0.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{{\left(\left(2 \cdot \pi\right) \cdot n\right)}^{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(k, -0.5, 0.5\right)\right)}}{\sqrt{k}}} \]

  3. Taylor expanded in n around 0 3.5

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{k}} \cdot e^{\left(\log n + \log \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right) \cdot \left(0.5 - 0.5 \cdot k\right)}} \]

  4. Simplified0.5

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{k}} \cdot {\left(n \cdot \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right)}^{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(k, -0.5, 0.5\right)\right)}} \]

  5. Applied inv-pow_binary640.5

    \[\leadsto \sqrt{\color{blue}{{k}^{-1}}} \cdot {\left(n \cdot \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right)}^{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(k, -0.5, 0.5\right)\right)} \]

  6. Applied sqrt-pow1_binary640.4

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{{k}^{\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)}} \cdot {\left(n \cdot \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right)}^{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(k, -0.5, 0.5\right)\right)} \]

  7. Final simplification0.4

    \[\leadsto {k}^{-0.5} \cdot {\left(n \cdot \left(2 \cdot \pi\right)\right)}^{\left(\mathsf{fma}\left(k, -0.5, 0.5\right)\right)} \]
