   \[\left({\left(a \cdot a + b \cdot b\right)}^{2} + 4 \cdot \left(b \cdot b\right)\right) - 1 \]

2. Taylor expanded in b around 0

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{{a}^{4} - 1} \]
3. Step-by-step derivation

   1. lower--.f64 N/A

      \[\leadsto {a}^{4} - \color{blue}{1} \]

   2. lower-pow.f64 70.0%

      \[\leadsto {a}^{4} - 1 \]

4. Applied rewrites 70.0%

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{{a}^{4} - 1} \]

5. Taylor expanded in a around 0

   \[\leadsto -1 \]
6. Step-by-step derivation

7. Applied rewrites 24.9%

   \[\leadsto -1 \]
8. Add Preprocessing
