\(\begin{cases} \frac{\left(\left(-b\right) - b\right) + \left(2 \cdot a\right) \cdot \frac{c}{b}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)} + \left(-b\right)} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\)
  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
    30.8
  3. Applied add-sqr-sqrt to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\color{red}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\color{blue}{\left(-b\right) + {\left(\sqrt{\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\right)}^2}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]

  4. Applied taylor to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + {\left(\sqrt{\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\right)}^2} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \left(b - 2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b}\right)}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + {\left(\sqrt{\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\right)}^2} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
    15.0
  5. Taylor expanded around inf to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \color{red}{\left(b - 2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b}\right)}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + {\left(\sqrt{\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\right)}^2} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \color{blue}{\left(b - 2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b}\right)}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + {\left(\sqrt{\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\right)}^2} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
    15.0
  6. Applied simplify to get
    \[\color{red}{\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \left(b - 2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b}\right)}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + {\left(\sqrt{\sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}\right)}^2} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}} \leadsto \color{blue}{\begin{cases} \frac{\left(\left(-b\right) - b\right) + \left(2 \cdot a\right) \cdot \frac{c}{b}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\sqrt{{b}^2 - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)} + \left(-b\right)} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}}\]
