\[6 \cdot x - 9 \cdot \left(x \cdot x\right) \]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 0.2

    \[\left(3 \cdot \left(2 - x \cdot 3\right)\right) \cdot x \]

  2. Simplified0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{x \cdot \mathsf{fma}\left(x, -9, 6\right)} \]

  3. Taylor expanded in x around 0 0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{6 \cdot x - 9 \cdot {x}^{2}} \]

  4. Applied egg-rr0.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, 6, \left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot -9\right)} \]

  5. Final simplification0.1

    \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(x, 6, \left(x \cdot x\right) \cdot -9\right) \]
