Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes.

  2. if b/2 < -2.2905235532000777e-122

    1. Initial program 58.9

      \[\frac{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied div-inv 58.9

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{a}}\]

    4. Applied taylor 15.6

      \[\leadsto \left(\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b/2}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{a}\]

    5. Taylor expanded around -inf 15.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(\frac{-1}{2} \cdot \frac{a \cdot c}{b/2}\right)} \cdot \frac{1}{a}\]

    6. Applied simplify 0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{c}{b/2} \cdot \frac{-1}{2}}\]

    if -2.2905235532000777e-122 < b/2 < 1.0905893076356243e+100

    1. Initial program 12.2

      \[\frac{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]
    2. Using strategy rm

    3. Applied clear-num 12.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{a}{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}}}\]

    if 1.0905893076356243e+100 < b/2

    1. Initial program 44.9

      \[\frac{\left(-b/2\right) - \sqrt{{b/2}^2 - a \cdot c}}{a}\]

    2. Applied taylor 0

      \[\leadsto -2 \cdot \frac{b/2}{a}\]

    3. Taylor expanded around inf 0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-2 \cdot \frac{b/2}{a}}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.
  4. Removed slow pow expressions
