\(\begin{cases} \frac{b}{a} \cdot \frac{-2}{2} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\)
  1. Started with
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]

  2. Using strategy rm
    33.1
  3. Applied flip-- to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\color{red}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{{\left(-b\right)}^2 - {\left(\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}\right)}^2}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]

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

  5. Applied taylor to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\frac{\left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{-2 \cdot b}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
    8.0
  6. Taylor expanded around 0 to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\color{red}{-2 \cdot b}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{\color{blue}{-2 \cdot b}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
    8.0
  7. Applied simplify to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{-2 \cdot b}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{b}{a} \cdot \frac{-2}{2} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
    8.0
  8. Applied final simplification
