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

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

  4. Applied simplify to get
    \[\color{red}{\begin{cases} \frac{2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b} - 2 \cdot b}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}} \leadsto \color{blue}{\begin{cases} \frac{\frac{c}{b}}{1} - \frac{b}{a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{c \cdot 2}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(c \cdot 4\right) \cdot a}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}}\]

  5. Using strategy rm
    8.8
  6. Applied clear-num to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\frac{c}{b}}{1} - \frac{b}{a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{c \cdot 2}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(c \cdot 4\right) \cdot a}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{\frac{c}{b}}{1} - \frac{b}{a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{1}{\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(c \cdot 4\right) \cdot a}}{c \cdot 2}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]

Original test:

  #:name "jeff quadratic root 1"
  (if (>= b 0) (/ (- (- b) (sqrt (- (sqr b) (* (* 4 a) c)))) (* 2 a)) (/ (* 2 c) (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (sqr b) (* (* 4 a) c)))))))
