Derivation

1. Initial program 16.8

   \[\cos^{-1} \left(\sin \phi_1 \cdot \sin \phi_2 + \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \cos \left(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2\right)\right) \cdot R \]

2. Applied egg 4.1

   \[\leadsto \cos^{-1} \left(\sin \phi_1 \cdot \sin \phi_2 + \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \lambda_1, \cos \lambda_2, \sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right)}\right) \cdot R \]

3. Applied egg 4.2

   \[\leadsto \cos^{-1} \left(\sin \phi_1 \cdot \sin \phi_2 + \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \lambda_1, \cos \lambda_2, \color{blue}{{\left(\sqrt[3]{\sin \lambda_1}\right)}^{2} \cdot \left(\sqrt[3]{\sin \lambda_1} \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right)}\right)\right) \cdot R \]

4. Applied egg 4.1

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log \left(e^{\cos^{-1} \left(\mathsf{fma}\left(\sin \phi_1, \sin \phi_2, \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \lambda_1, \cos \lambda_2, \sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right)\right)\right)}\right)} \cdot R \]

5. Final simplification 4.1

   \[\leadsto \log \left(e^{\cos^{-1} \left(\mathsf{fma}\left(\sin \phi_1, \sin \phi_2, \left(\cos \phi_1 \cdot \cos \phi_2\right) \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(\cos \lambda_1, \cos \lambda_2, \sin \lambda_1 \cdot \sin \lambda_2\right)\right)\right)}\right) \cdot R \]
