Derivation

1. Initial program 6.7%

   \[\frac{\pi}{2} - 2 \cdot \sin^{-1} \left(\sqrt{\frac{1 - x}{2}}\right) \]
2. Add Preprocessing

3. Taylor expanded in x around 0 4.0%

   \[\leadsto \frac{\pi}{2} - 2 \cdot \sin^{-1} \color{blue}{\left(\sqrt{0.5}\right)} \]

4. Final simplification 4.0%

   \[\leadsto \frac{\pi}{2} - 2 \cdot \sin^{-1} \left(\sqrt{0.5}\right) \]
5. Add Preprocessing

Developer target: 100.0% accurate, 2.1× speedup
