\(\frac{\frac{c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}}{2 \cdot a}\)
  1. Started with
    \[\frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{2 \cdot a}\]
    33.3
  2. Using strategy rm
    33.3
  3. Applied flip-- to get
    \[\frac{\color{red}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}}{2 \cdot a} \leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{{\left(-b\right)}^2 - {\left(\sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}\right)}^2}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}}}{2 \cdot a}\]
    43.5
  4. Applied simplify to get
    \[\frac{\frac{\color{red}{{\left(-b\right)}^2 - {\left(\sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}\right)}^2}}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}}{2 \cdot a} \leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{c \cdot \left(4 \cdot a\right)}}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}}{2 \cdot a}\]
    32.4

Original test:


(lambda ((a default) (b default) (c default))
  #:name "The quadratic formula (r2)"
  (/ (- (- b) (sqrt (- (sqr b) (* 4 (* a c))))) (* 2 a))
  #:target
  (if (< b 0) (/ c (* a (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (sqr b) (* 4 (* a c))))) (* 2 a)))) (/ (- (- b) (sqrt (- (sqr b) (* 4 (* a c))))) (* 2 a))))
