Derivation

1. Initial program 32.0

   \[\sqrt{re \cdot re + im \cdot im} \]

2. Simplified 0.0

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right)} \]
   Proof
   (hypot.f64 re im): 0 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
   (Rewrite<= hypot-def_binary64 (sqrt.f64 (+.f64 (*.f64 re re) (*.f64 im im)))): 127 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error

3. Final simplification 0.0

   \[\leadsto \mathsf{hypot}\left(re, im\right) \]
