\(\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{{\left(\left(-b\right) + {\left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\right)}^3\right)}^{1}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\)
  1. Started with
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
    9.5
  2. Using strategy rm
    9.5
  3. Applied add-cube-cbrt to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\color{red}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\color{blue}{\left(-b\right) + {\left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\right)}^3}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]

  4. Using strategy rm
    9.7
  5. Applied pow1 to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \color{red}{\frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + {\left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\right)}^3}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \color{blue}{\frac{2 \cdot c}{{\left(\left(-b\right) + {\left(\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\right)}^3\right)}^{1}}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
