Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -6.885163307120034e-42

    1. Initial program 54.2

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 46.8

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

    3. Applied simplify7.3

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(-1\right) \cdot \frac{c}{b}}\]

    if -6.885163307120034e-42 < b < 7.271467974516448e+121

    1. Initial program 14.0

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