    if b/2 < -0.00030340048f0

    1. Started with
      \[\frac{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
      28.0
    2. Using strategy rm
      28.0
    3. Applied flip-- to get
      \[\frac{\color{red}{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{\frac{{\left(-b/2\right)}^2 - {\left(\sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}\right)}^2}{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}}{a}\]
      29.7
    4. Applied simplify to get
      \[\frac{\frac{\color{red}{{\left(-b/2\right)}^2 - {\left(\sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}\right)}^2}}{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\frac{\color{blue}{a \cdot c}}{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}{a}\]
      15.4
    5. Applied taylor to get
      \[\frac{\frac{a \cdot c}{\left(-b/2\right) + \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\frac{a \cdot c}{\left(-b/2\right) + \left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - b/2\right)}}{a}\]
      7.3
    6. Taylor expanded around -inf to get
      \[\frac{\frac{a \cdot c}{\left(-b/2\right) + \color{red}{\left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - b/2\right)}}}{a} \leadsto \frac{\frac{a \cdot c}{\left(-b/2\right) + \color{blue}{\left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b/2} - b/2\right)}}}{a}\]
      7.3

      6.2

    if 5.979008f+15 < b/2

    1. Started with
      \[\frac{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
      24.6
    2. Applied taylor to get
      \[\frac{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}{a} \leadsto -2 \cdot \frac{b/2}{a}\]

      0
  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))
