Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes
  2. if b < -2.696840345644182e+153

    1. Initial program 60.6

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{2 \cdot a}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 11.8

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b} - 2 \cdot b}}{2 \cdot a}\]
    3. Applied simplify0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{\frac{c}{b}}{1} - \frac{b}{a}}\]
    4. Applied simplify0.0

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{c}{b}} - \frac{b}{a}\]

    if -2.696840345644182e+153 < b < 1.9273866034930708e-32

    1. Initial program 13.5

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{2 \cdot a}\]

    if 1.9273866034930708e-32 < b

    1. Initial program 58.3

      \[\frac{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}{2 \cdot a}\]
    2. Taylor expanded around inf 15.2

      \[\leadsto \frac{\color{blue}{-2 \cdot \frac{c \cdot a}{b}}}{2 \cdot a}\]
    3. Applied simplify0

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