Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if (- b) < -3.3743925292749844e-101

    1. Initial program 51.3

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 47.0

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

    3. Applied simplify10.4

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

    if -3.3743925292749844e-101 < (- b) < 7.11835192838466e+59

    1. Initial program 12.7

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