Derivation

  1. Split input into 4 regimes

  2. if b/2 < -3.4960188181991964e+137

    1. Initial program 55.3

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 2.6

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

    if -3.4960188181991964e+137 < b/2 < 8.22387869142787e-144

    1. Initial program 10.4

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

    3. Applied clear-num10.5

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

    if 8.22387869142787e-144 < b/2 < 1.6595239669198776e+39

    1. Initial program 36.7

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

    3. Applied flip-+36.7

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

    4. Applied simplify16.5

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

    if 1.6595239669198776e+39 < b/2

    1. Initial program 56.4

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 14.9

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

    3. Applied simplify4.5

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{c}{b/2} \cdot \frac{-1}{2}}\]
  3. Recombined 4 regimes into one program.
  4. Removed slow pow expressions.
