    1. Started with
      \[\frac{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
      21.2
    2. Applied taylor to get
      \[\frac{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - 2 \cdot b/2}{a}\]
      6.1
    3. Taylor expanded around -inf to get
      \[\frac{\color{red}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - 2 \cdot b/2}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - 2 \cdot b/2}}{a}\]
      6.1
    4. Applied simplify to get
      \[\color{red}{\frac{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - 2 \cdot b/2}{a}} \leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{b/2}{c}} - \frac{b/2}{a} \cdot 2}\]
