Derivation

  1. Split input into 4 regimes

  2. if b/2 < -1.1872979988150526e+32

    1. Initial program 58.1

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 14.6

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

    3. Applied simplify0.0

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

    if -1.1872979988150526e+32 < b/2 < -4.377552981619987e-103

    1. Initial program 37.7

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

    3. Applied flip--37.8

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

    4. Applied simplify15.4

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

    if -4.377552981619987e-103 < b/2 < 1.2486973271270074e+81

    1. Initial program 12.0

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

    if 1.2486973271270074e+81 < b/2

    1. Initial program 43.2

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 0

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