Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if (- b) < -1.0446860502263397e-57

    1. Initial program 53.8

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 18.5

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

    3. Applied simplify7.9

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

    if -1.0446860502263397e-57 < (- b) < 5.212416467940643e+55

    1. Initial program 12.9

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

    if 5.212416467940643e+55 < (- b)

    1. Initial program 36.5

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 9.8

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

    3. Applied simplify4.9
