Derivation

1. Initial program 0.02

   \[x \cdot y + z \cdot t \]

2. Simplified 0.01

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, y, z \cdot t\right)} \]
   Proof

   [Start] 0.02	\[ x \cdot y + z \cdot t \]
   fma-def [=>] 0.01	\[ \color{blue}{\mathsf{fma}\left(x, y, z \cdot t\right)} \]

3. Final simplification 0.01

   \[\leadsto \mathsf{fma}\left(x, y, z \cdot t\right) \]
