    if b/2 < -1.3686002f-10

    1. Started with
      \[\frac{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
      27.9
    2. Using strategy rm
      27.9
    3. Applied flip-- to get
      \[\frac{\color{red}{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{{\left(-b/2\right)}^2 - {\left(\sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}\right)}^2}{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}}{a}\]
      29.4
    4. Applied simplify to get
      \[\frac{\frac{\color{red}{{\left(-b/2\right)}^2 - {\left(\sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}\right)}^2}}{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{a \cdot c}}{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}{a}\]
      16.3
    5. Applied taylor to get
      \[\frac{\frac{a \cdot c}{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\frac{a \cdot c}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - 2 \cdot b/2}}{a}\]
      7.3
    6. Taylor expanded around -inf to get
      \[\frac{\frac{a \cdot c}{\color{red}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - 2 \cdot b/2}}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\frac{a \cdot c}{\color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - 2 \cdot b/2}}}{a}\]
      7.3
    7. Applied simplify to get
      \[\color{red}{\frac{\frac{a \cdot c}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - 2 \cdot b/2}}{a}} \leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{c}{\left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot c\right) \cdot \frac{a}{b/2} - 2 \cdot b/2}}\]

  1. Removed slow pow expressions

Original test:


(lambda ((a default) (b/2 default) (c default))
  #:name "NMSE problem 3.2.1, negative"
  (/ (- (- b/2) (sqrt (- (sqr b/2) (* a c)))) a))
