Derivation

  1. Split input into 3 regimes

  2. if b < -6.0286326906973584e-55

    1. Initial program 53.8

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

    2. Taylor expanded around -inf 46.4

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

    3. Applied simplify8.0

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

    if -6.0286326906973584e-55 < b < 6.357820583418699e+58

    1. Initial program 13.8

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

    3. Applied clear-num13.9

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

    if 6.357820583418699e+58 < b

    1. Initial program 36.7

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

    2. Taylor expanded around inf 10.5

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

    3. Applied simplify5.7

      \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\frac{c}{b} \cdot 1 - \frac{b}{a}}\]
  3. Recombined 3 regimes into one program.

  4. Applied simplify10.1

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\begin{array}{l} \mathbf{if}\;b \le -6.0286326906973584 \cdot 10^{-55}:\\ \;\;\;\;-\frac{c}{b}\\ \mathbf{if}\;b \le 6.357820583418699 \cdot 10^{+58}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{1}{\frac{a \cdot 2}{\left(-b\right) - \sqrt{b \cdot b - \left(a \cdot c\right) \cdot 4}}}\\ \mathbf{else}:\\ \;\;\;\;\frac{c}{b} - \frac{b}{a}\\ \end{array}}\]
