Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -1.1113098726408647e+115

    1. Initial program 47.0

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 3.5

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

    3. Applied simplify3.5

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

    if -1.1113098726408647e+115 < b < 4.3328766807005103e-103

    1. Initial program 12.5

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

    3. Applied clear-num12.6

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{1}{\frac{2 \cdot a}{\left(-b\right) + \sqrt{b \cdot b - 4 \cdot \left(a \cdot c\right)}}}}\]

    if 4.3328766807005103e-103 < b

    1. Initial program 51.3

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 21.5

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

    3. Applied simplify10.6

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