Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -1.6867480356295008e+140

    1. Initial program 56.7

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 10.4

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

    3. Applied simplify2.1

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

    if -1.6867480356295008e+140 < b < 5.469699153719659e-114

    1. Initial program 12.0

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

    3. Applied clear-num12.2

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

    if 5.469699153719659e-114 < b

    1. Initial program 50.5

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 22.7

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

    3. Applied simplify11.1

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