Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -4.005537006288397e-85

    1. Initial program 51.7

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 20.9

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

    3. Applied simplify10.3

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

    if -4.005537006288397e-85 < b < 1.026219862232508e+81

    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 1.026219862232508e+81 < b

    1. Initial program 40.7

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 5.0

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

    3. Applied simplify5.0

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