Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -7.833327672762858e+152

    1. Initial program 60.0

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 0

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

    3. Applied simplify0

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

    if -7.833327672762858e+152 < b < 7.698366662298276e-138

    1. Initial program 10.9

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

    3. Applied frac-2neg10.9

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

    4. Applied simplify11.0

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

    if 7.698366662298276e-138 < b

    1. Initial program 58.9

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 15.4

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

    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.
