\(\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(c \cdot 4\right) \cdot a}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{c}{\frac{c \cdot a}{b} - b} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\)
  1. Started with
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
    32.5
  2. Applied taylor to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b} - 2 \cdot b} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
    13.8
  3. Taylor expanded around -inf to get
    \[\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \color{red}{\frac{2 \cdot c}{2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b} - 2 \cdot b}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \leadsto \begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \color{blue}{\frac{2 \cdot c}{2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b} - 2 \cdot b}} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
    13.8
  4. Applied simplify to get
    \[\color{red}{\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(4 \cdot a\right) \cdot c}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{2 \cdot c}{2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b} - 2 \cdot b} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}} \leadsto \color{blue}{\begin{cases} \frac{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{{b}^2 - \left(c \cdot 4\right) \cdot a}}{2 \cdot a} & \text{when } b \ge 0 \\ \frac{c}{\frac{c \cdot a}{b} - b} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}}\]

  (if (>= b 0) (/ (- (- b) (sqrt (- (sqr b) (* (* 4 a) c)))) (* 2 a)) (/ (* 2 c) (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (sqr b) (* (* 4 a) c)))))))
